Hmmm, Cash vs Card
Money Jar
Imagine you have a jar of tiny cat cash.
Spend Some Money
When you buy something, you let some cats out.
The Shop Owner
The shop owner gets those little cat dollars.
Cat Power
Cash is instant little cat power.
Magic of the Card
Card payments are different. You have one big, invisible cat.
The Banks
The shop asks your bank for some of that cat.
Shop’s Bank
Your bank sends some invisible cat to the shop’s bank.
This is the Magic of the Card
No tiny cats actually change hands right then.
We Promise Some Cats to the Shop
Cards are more like invisible cat promises that we need to do.
Happy Shop and the Customer
Both ways the shop gets its cat money in the end and we get stuff from the shop.
