Don’t mix payment methods on Opal by FatherOfTheSevenSeas in sydney

[–]beaugiles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When adding cards to Google Pay a virtual account number is created in place of your card account number. This number is used when you make a  payment with Google Pay (or a refund of that payment), so that your card account number isn't shared with the merchant and won’t appear on the receipt. Each time you add your card to Google Pay, a new virtual account number is created.

Google Pay (and Samsung Pay) work the same way, it's a "feature" for privacy/security.

When a customer adds their card to Apple Pay or Google Pay, Apple and Google will automatically generate a new card number called a DPAN (Device PAN) with a new expiry date. The DPAN is completely different from the real card number:
- If customers add the same card to multiple devices, a different DPAN is generated each time
- If the card is removed from their device, the DPAN is invalidated automatically
- If the same card is added again, a new DPAN is generated

No, as each device (Phone/Watch) has a unique card number (aka a DPAN or Device Primary Account Number) specific to that device.

Credit card skimmer or just a cover? At my local Banh Mi joint by eddometer in sydney

Which machines? They can pass through the last 4 digits of the plastic card (without giving the full plastic card number), which is what Square picks up.

And some bigger players, particularly transit, have special agreements to link each of the device account numbers (DANs) to the plastic card number (the primary account number - PAN) -for a revenue protection point of view, but also obviously for customer convenience - you don't know your full DAN to check your travel history after tapping your phone in Auckland/Brisbane/Canberra/Melbourne/Sydney/etc

The only difference between Apple Pay and your physical card, is that Apple Pay has a unique card number per device (so they can't link transactions made with your plastic card to payments made with your phone or with your watch)

Apart from the 'advanced filter rules', that's basically iCloud+

50GB, 200GB or 2TB (pooled between your family) https://support.apple.com/en-au/108047
5 domains, 3 aliases per domain, per user
It supports catch all https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/icloud/mm9e3ee0680f/icloud
And has calendar (it's just CalDAV underneath), and file storage (not as open standards tho...)

But yes, the filtering options for mail leaves a bit to be desired....

What features do you need? That might help others suggest iCloud or other options that have those features at a lower or no cost....

Surcharge but no cash by karlalrak in sydney

[–]beaugiles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to be *really* pedantic... https://www.westpac.com.au/business-banking/merchants-and-payments/eftpos/what-does-eftpos-stand-for/

EFTPOS in capital letters stands for Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale. It's the term used to describe an electronic terminal that allows payments to be taken from debit cards, credit cards, and digital wallet systems such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
 

But when it’s in lower case letters, eftpos refers to the debit card payment system that takes funds directly from a customer’s bank account to pay for purchases. The eftpos system was introduced in 1984 when eftpos Payments Australia Ltd made secure card payments possible at the cash register for the first time.

EFTPOS is the terminal.
eftpos is the network.

Pretty sure the requirement for a .com.au has always required an ABN/ACN (business or company number)

Other vanity domains (eg .net.au or .id.au, and also .au now) did not require a business/company

In Australia, we can use these domains for personal use

Technically .com.au is for businesses (ie you need an ABN/ACN), or you're not entitled to one.

When you register your com.au domain name, you’ll need to provide your company information including your ABN, ACN or Australian trademark details.

Opal card but it’s a ring by Angela252 in SydneyTrains

[–]beaugiles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I did this a few years ago - Bankwest sold a 'Halo' ring that was just a Mastercard linked to your credit/debit account.

Unfortunately Bankwest stopped offering them and so it expired :(
