nos.nl
Pinbetalingen kunnen gebruikt worden als drukmiddel omdat ze via Amerikaanse bedrijven lopen. "Onwenselijk", noemt DNB dit risico.

    Please let’s think this ALL THE WAY: it is pointless to look for alternatives to the customer facing part if the backend still runs on US software.

        Android is open source so any European company can just fork their flavor the same way Huawei did.

        And there are alternatives to visa/mastercard but their local to each country: Cartes Bancaires in France, Girocard in Germany etc.

          Local alternatives are not good enough. We need something that works internationally, otherwise it’s not a true alternative.

            Nope, they just integrate visa/mastercard for international payments like most other European providers.

              That was true, once upon a time. “Carte Bleue” is part of Visa Europe (which has been reintegrated into Visa. Inc in 2015) since 2010.

          We also have MobilePay here in Denmark, Swish in Sweden, Bancomat in Italy.

          But I am still dubious there is proper sovereignty in the whole stack each one of these run on.
