The only retailer with PayPass in my town is 7-11, though McDonalds is trying to catch up. Unfortunately, none of the banks here have started offering cards with PayPass.

I live off of plastic--a debit card. I've been using my debit card over cash since I came to college 7 years ago, because most places in this town accept plastic. In fact, businesses without plastic soon found they had to have credit card terminals in order to be competitive. There are only a couple of holdouts in town, but they're given a pass as they're more old-timers' bars than anything else.

And abaya, the phenomenon of debit cards is all over Europe, not just Iceland. I think the United States is a bit behind the times when it comes to adopting these technologies.
