I kind of doubt this. Even if we had a European (or any) alternatives, which we don’t, merchants will still want to be able to accept payments from tourists with these cards.
I think we are talking about different things.
Many European online and card payments in Europe run via Visa/ Mastercard In USA.
Weru by the EPI, is a new internal payment system in Europe for payments by Europeans which is being rolled out in many EU contries, without visa Mastercard payment settlements.
A tourist can always pay with Visa/ Mastercard in Europe or USA. That’s another matter. Wiithin Europe for Europeans that won’t no longer be necessary
Isn’t that what WERU is all about; "The service competes with PayPal, credit cards and similar services. "?
It’s WERO and afaik they don’t issue cards. If you want to make in-store payments you’re stuck with visa of mastercard.
We use Belgian Bancontact, not visa/MasterCard here
If I understand correctly that will be all phased out. #e quote
Do you have a source for that?
