@dmian You’re right, complex things like that take time. But I know people who are already using the system here in France, and in Germany – and technically, it works already in 3 countries. We just need more retailers to get on board.
But that’s what we thought about PayPal too, and now it has the status of a bank in the EU and works everywhere. Why shouldn’t the Europeans be able to manage that, too ...

@NatureMC @soapdog @mojo @Coffee Oh! Don’t get me wrong: we’ll arrive there. Here in Spain we have Bizum. It’s already integrated with MB Way (Portugal) and Bancomat (Italy). Polish Blik and Norwegian Vipps are joining and there’s an agreement to integrate with EPI’s Wero. And I guess more will join one or the other initiative. Bizum is already deploying retail payments. In the end, we’ll have a pan-European system. That’s the goal.
