Good that they're working on it, but man is this stuff slow. Germany's still all in on PayPal. I think the EU should just create a common solution. Oh, and create a common way to confirm identities and sign documents online. This national fragmentation is just dumb.
Yeah, but this is not Wero. This is a private company (think PayPal, but not shitty and European).
According to a Danish piece on it, there probably will still be Cross-Border- payment fees, even though some countries in that agreement could just rely on a standard SEPA transfer without any additional costs
I think the title is misleading. It is not that payment systems are made compatible, but popular local apps. It's like saying PayPal and Swish are now compatible. According to a Danish piece I read on it, there will probably still be Cross-Border- payment fees, even though if the system would be SEPA-based, there wouldn't be fees (as long as it is the same currency).
Isn't MB Way a payment system? It was brought up a few times as such by people in the past
Wow nice nice nice :D
TIL! It seems that the Italian Bancomat Pay is already interoperable with Spain and Portugal, but I have no way to test this
What is "Nordic systems"?
I'm from Finland and we mostly use bank transfers and sometimes Mobileypay
It is MobilePay Vipps that is cooperating with other local payment providers to allow transfer across apps.
Wow this is awesome.
