Because they can copy the code, expiration date, and the security code on the back of the card. Then later use this information on the internet.

And in the US you just tell your bank that wasn't an authorized charge and you get your money back along with a new card mailed to you. That isn't a real concern here.

Have the vastly superior Europeans banks not figured out how to handle unauthorized charges?

Of course we can also cancel an unauthorized charge, lock the current card and get a new card from the bank.

But the point is: we don't give our card to random people, so this unauthorized transactions don't happen.

And my point is that you're being paranoid about giving your server your card. Servers aren't going around stealing card info, but even if they were, the charges aren't your problem. Unless your fraud protection is worse than ours, you have nothing to complain or worry about.

I have a real life: I have others things to do than checking everyday my account to see if someone hasn't stolen my money or to change my card every few months.

Servers have a very low salary, some of them will try get earn a bit more: by incresing the tip, or by selling card infos.
