Foreign customers of the window brothels increasingly want to pay by credit card because they have less cash on them. With credit card payments, financial flows become more transparent and exploitation can be proven more easily. Also, sex workers in Amsterdam feel safer if they don&#8217;t have to walk the streets with large sums of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/de\/news\/amsterdam-currency\/\">cash<\/a>, according to the trade association for Dutch sex workers PROUD.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Still_Plenty_of_ATMs_in_the_Red_Light_District_of_Amsterdam\"><\/span>Still Plenty of ATM&#8217;s in the Red Light District of Amsterdam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The new development brings back the fear in the Red Light District that cash will become the norm again. Those who want to pay with a Dutch bank card can still go to the Red Light District, but international visitors, a large proportion of the customers in the Red Light district, do not have a Dutch bank card. However, there are still plenty of ATM&#8217;s in the Red Light District of Amsterdam where one can withdraw cash with their credit card.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/de\/tour\/5d-porn-cinema-tickets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16513 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Red-Light-District-Credit-Card-Payment-Option.jpg\" alt=\"Red Light District Credit Card Payment Option\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Red-Light-District-Credit-Card-Payment-Option.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Red-Light-District-Credit-Card-Payment-Option-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Red-Light-District-Credit-Card-Payment-Option-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Banks_Dont_Want_The_Cash_But_Wont_Provide_A_Digital_Option\"><\/span>Banks Don&#8217;t Want The Cash But Won&#8217;t Provide A Digital Option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Large amounts of cash have always been the reason why bankers kept the sex industry at a distance.
