    Before reading: please say they are joining WERO

    After reading: oh no… please don’t tell me they are building a competitor to WERO…

      haven’t read yet, but I hope for some interoperability at least, I’ve read this agreed by Italy, Spain, Portugal & Nordics: https://houseofel.net/europe-launches-payment-system-to-replace-visa-and-mastercard-48-5-million-users-and-growing/#%3A~%3Atext=including+Italy’s+Bancomat%2C+Spain’s+Bizum

      I am really happy to see this field flourishing with so many countries jumping aboard with their own solutions, then they could interoperate and improve the network

    It looks like a paid article. It mentions blik twice each paragraph, didn’t mention alternatives or downsides.
