This is an Austrian company that offers mobile payments with barcode/qr-code in shops in Austria and Germany, as well as in a few places in Italy and Luxembourg.
I use it since one year. It works fine, but it could definitely use more attention, so that more shops start to accept it. What are your thoughts on that?
We need a European alternative to MasterCard and Visa. Two American companies own basically the non-cash market. The digital euro can’t come soon enough
We should collect all national offerings (we have satispay In Italy) and then create a bridge among them.
Too easy? Too many high-castle heads to cut off?

That’s what Wero is for
You sure?
It sounds to me like another mobile payment app, not a bridge among them. I don’t understand what is the problem with interconnecting the various apps, I for example, have a German IBAN with N26 without having ever lived in German, created by using my Italian docs and address. I think restricting the scope of each app is something wanted, not imposed by rules.
It’s “like” UK which is leaving the EU mobile data roaming, to make people struggle for nowadays silly things like mobile connections (in this case rules are going to be applied, it’s just an example)
Now I remember that actually sofort could be a bridge. I used it years ago while buying from an Italian website and no registration was necessary, it was enough to enter your bank access codes, it was a pretty scary procedure. However that means they have direct access to bank accounts, no permissions were required. Things might have changed now, but that was a possible common bridge among all EU bank accounts for sure.
Federate them and build on top of a digital euro.

We had our own: Wirecard. But who knew it was tied to shady dealings and connected to Putin? Certainly not the EY auditors /s
