意思
Method of payment.
文化背景
The Netherlands is extremely cashless. Many shops (especially in Amsterdam) do not accept cash at all. Look for 'Pin Only' signs. While card payment is standard, cash is still slightly more common in Belgium than in the Netherlands. You might find a 'minimum bedrag' (minimum amount) for card payments in smaller shops. In Suriname, Dutch is the official language, but the economy is much more cash-based. You would use this phrase less often in local markets. On islands like Curaçao or Aruba, 'met de kaart betalen' is common in tourist areas, but US Dollars and local Guilders are often used in cash.

Credit Cards
In many smaller Dutch shops, 'de kaart' only refers to debit cards (Maestro/V-Pay). Credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) might not be accepted.
