We have Interac in Canada, which don't use credit card debit systems, and pre-date them by like 20 years

I'm aware (I live in one of the more thinly-populated parts of Ontario). Interac just allows the bank to do the tracking instead of the credit card company, which is a distinction without a difference as far as I'm concerned. It's the act of linking purchase to identity that I object to.
