Japan seems to have gotten the short stick in the card design department.
That’s true.
Almost everyday I am crying for poor designed cards in Japan.
For example, they rarely care the size of EMV chips.
Even now, 90% of the new issued card in Japan have 8pin EMV chips.
It is a few years ago that IDEMIA estblished JP branch and start providing good designed card with 6pin EMV chips…
