On: Kickstarter switches to Stripe

Do I understand this correctly that you need a credit card to support a Kickstarter project?

Different countries have a different credit card culture. In the USA you absolutely need one. In Germany you can find a lot of people who don't have one just because you don't need it in your day to day life.

Do you mean they pay everything cash or they use debit/atm cards? In Europe these cards usually still work with the VISA or Mastercard networks.

For internet transactions a lot of ppl use payment from they internet banks. Debit cards are mainstream.
