You don't need to register your details to get the card, so you can remain (fairly) anonymous. Though naturally data mining techiniques can narrow down who is who. And of course if you recharge it online they get your details and naturally store this with your snapper's record.
1% fee for retailers, ridiculous!
25c for topping up your card, ridiculous!
Shouldn't forget in NZ the only thing that made EFTPOS so successful is that it was all free. Here in Aus I'm still having a hard time remembering to carry fat wads of cash (and I've been here 3 months already). Barely anywhere accepts EFTPOS. Love to see these be successful though in NZ.
These work well for transit so hopefully it takes off for that at least (and Taxi's too please).
