It's particularly culturally deaf to try to verify with literally "credit cards". In the UK most people use debit cards instead for most things. https://www.ukfinance.org.uk/data-and-research/data/card-spe... Credit card usage is a small fraction of debit card usage. This is very different to the USA where there are more credit card transactions than debit card ones. | ||

You can have a debit card in your own name when you're under 18, but not a credit card, meaning credit is a proxy for age but debit isn't. It's the same in the UK and the US. (They also accept an ID scan.) | ||

A good proportion of people have the credit card even if they don't use them. 65% of adults have a credit card in the UK. | ||
