Here in Poland there is also an instant electronic transfer called BLIK, where you confirm the payment as well. What is sent is a temporary numeric code to the terminal (it can be typed in as well as sent over NFC or QR code) and it is similar to automatic escrow. Disputes work differently depending on the bank though.

And in some banks they're starting to roll out OTP 3D Secure etc. confirmations even for PoS terminals above certain value. Most terminals support it, it's just a hold on transaction.
