Update on Cashlessness

The reason for today’s excursion to Akihabara was a private lesson with the CEO of a food service chain. I told him about Ecute being all cashless and this sparked a discussion on the topic. More on that in a later, longer post. Two points he brought up of interest to the narrower topic of cashlessness are that when he was in Europe a couple of years ago, he could not use cash. The places he visited were 100% cashless. Between last week’s lesson and this week’s, he attended the World Expo in Osaka. One of his friends has connections that provided pre opening tickets to their group of friends. It was 100% cash free.

Whoa boy! Here we go. A headline from tonight’s The Japan Times.

“Banks freeze withdrawals for foreign nationals upon expiration of visas”

Can’t do that without the data from immigration and your banks being linked. No surprise that they are for that is the whole publicly stated purpose of the My Number system, to have EVERYTHING linked to a single number.
