Even on the train last week, the food and drink vendors were mainly dealing in QR Code scanning. In fact, I don't think I saw anybody use hard cash. Things like that just remove any temptation to spend for me.
Losing the ability to scan a QR Code is music to my ears, but didn't I read a couple of weeks ago about a scheme where they are trying to get visitors to put their money into that, which in turn will give access to the full range of banking services? Or is it another case of one side not talking to the other side, again?

Apparently K-bank is introducing a prepaid card and app for tourists allowing them to pay with QR codes here. I don't want to know what the charges/spreads, security, and surveillance on that will be like.
