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
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
