Ooh, that’s a great move from the ecb. That’s the kind of shit the EU should be doing.
And it will arrive in 2045.
Hopefully Irish government isn’t involved in developing it. Will never be done
It’s a good idea to get away from these American payment processors since they seem to be quite trigger happy of interference. However, who knows how long this will take.
Dear EU,
Please just stop solely relying on google services API, make a payment system outside of this monopolistic ecosystem.
Oh wait, this is another digital monopoly game now with digital ID..
Nevermind.
Some countries already have this, they should just expand one of them to save time/ money. BLIK works pretty flawlessly for online and at card terminals.
Excellent. There is prior art for this (see India) which, if used will, should Jean it doesn’t take a slow moving bureaucracy decades to implement. A great move though and really the kind of thing I think the EU should lean into.
I think the Digital Euro will be good and glad it’s being perused but this bit is nonsense. Your phone doesn’t cost merchants more.
> An official in the ECB in Frankfurt once told me that whenever he pays in a restaurant or shop, he uses a bank card. Not his phone.

>“I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he says, “but some hotels really want you to use a physical card. Because, for the merchant, phones are far more expensive. Apple and Google charge quite a bit. So I’m more mindful now, even going into a restaurant, since I know this for professional reasons, that using your phone is just a ‘thank you’ to Apple or Google.”
Francesca Albanese is a perfect reason why this needs to happen. She can’t book a hotel, buy anything on the web or even hire a car as the US have sanctions on her.
