Wish there was a goddamn alternative to MasterCard/VISA, or even a plan to create one. If I hear someone say Wero one more goddamn time…
Chinese UnionPay and Japan’s JCB are the only actual cards I know of that are globally accepted, though still not as universally as MasterCard or Visa. And I can’t actually get either card living in Europe. Not that I’d want a Chinese card any more than I like having my American cards.
Yeah Wero is more of a PayPal replacement than a credit card alternative.
The sad thing is that Italy has a Wero-like app, used especially in the North of the country, called Satispay. But apparently Satispay is not participating in the European Payment Initiative (EPI). And, the saddest things of them all, is that Satispay began as an alternative to credit cards, but now they issue a MasterCard so you can pay in every shop. Wtf the whole point of Satispay was not using American cards!
