Bye bye Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and many others. They can go and play “America First”. We’ll have our own independent system by november 2025.

    Yes, but i want to find something with Girocard. Them changing to Visa means that there are no plans for European EC cards.

      AFAIK many cards are hybrid Girocard/(Visa|MasterCard) debit cards. They use the Girocard payment system if supported by the store and (Visa|Mastercard) otherwise.

      C24 bank gives a Mastercard by default, but you can get a free, separate Girocard as well.

      Unfortunately if you want to minimize the amount of money leaving your country you have to pay in cash because the technology behind all other ways of paying are largely supplied by us banks (for now)
