Yep, I scan a QR code that they give me and my bank, any bank in my country, will transfer the requested amount to the restaurant in one click on my phone. With two additional clicks I can send a QR code made by my bank to my friend who can transfer his part to me. Both transfers happen within a second.
On the way home, I pay for public transport by bank transfer by holding my card to the reader when getting on the bus, then off the bus. It’s simple and secure.

It’s called Zelle. We have it, it just isn’t as ubiquitous.
Or a debit card…

They charge the vendor/bank for the service.
And sell your purchase history. (Exactly, it must be said, the same way Visa et al make money.)

You don’t get out much or you live in BFE. Plenty of restaurants bring you a QR code on the check.
I’d much prefer to do that than to hand my card off to a stranger to do god-knows-what with for 5-10 minutes in the back room.
