We Should Change the Payment System

Nowadays, the system of payment gradually changes. Most people use debit cards instead of cash to make
payment. They think it is more effective, efficient, easier, and simpler. However, there are still arguments about the use of
debit cards as a method of payment. Well, if you use the card, you will say that card is so practical. You dont need to
count how much you should pay. When paying is cash, people are afraid of making mistakes in counting the banknote for
both the payment and the change. With debit cards the mistakes is made smaller.
Moreover, you should know that the debit cards are safer than money. Suppose you bring a lot of money when
travelling. If it is lost or stolen, you will be left with nothing in your hands. However, if you bring a debit card, you can
just phone the bank which issues the card to block it. On the other hand, people who disagree on the use of debit card will
say that its use is limited. When you buy something in a traditional market, or a vendor, for example, can you pay using a
credit card? Of course not. Another thing is that, if you want to use the card, you should make a purchase at minimum
amount. If you make less than the minimum transaction, you can not make the use of the card. For those reasons we think
that credit cards are not fully effective as a means of payment. We should trace the incoming and ongoing money in our
account. Besides, we have to control our habit of buying first, paying later habit. Otherwise, without realized we are
charged a lot. You dont have to use credit cards if not necessary.
