It will be an interesting post mortem if they make it public.

Let's hope not. They're deliberately trying to get people to take on debt rather than just do card payments, and even simple things like buying a book through a web site requires declining several offers for paying with credit.

Unfortunately, they're huge, and I doubt the Swedish authorities will do more than give them a fine and a slap on the wrist.

Card payments are usually debt also?

Debit cards is more common in quite a few places. My impression has always been that paying everything with a credit card is a U.S. thing.

Here in Finland, It's not uncommon to have no debt apart from the mortage on one's home.

Finland doesn't have credit score system, so there's no reason to not pay not pay the credit card bill immediately. There is certain push towards credit cards, though. As far as I remember my bank would charge a yearly fee for debit card, but credit card is free for me.
