Was auf den ersten Blick bequem wirkt, hat weitreichende Folgen. Denn #PayPal steht exemplarisch für eine Entwicklung, die den gesamten europäischen Zahlungsmarkt prägt: Immer größere Teile der Zahlungsinfrastruktur werden von wenigen, nicht-europäischen Konzernen kontrolliert. Neben PayPal sind es vor allem #Visa, #Mastercard sowie zunehmend auch Big-Tech-Konzerne wie #Apple oder #Google, die zum Zahlungsmittel der Wahl werden – online wie offline.
(Finanzwende)

ZAHL DES MONATS: 30 So viel von 100 Euro - also rund 30 Prozent - der Umsätze im deutschen Online-Handel laufen inzwischen über PayPal. Der US-amerikanische Zahlungsdienstleister ist damit zu einem der zentralen Akteure in der deutschen Zahlungslandschaft geworden.

Er der nogle expats der kender til #Wero?

Det lader til at have genvundet opbakning siden 2024/Trump som europæisk alternativ til #Visa og #MasterCard, med senest tilslutning af Tysklands næststørste bank og planlagt erstatning af iDeal i hollandske banker.

Det får nok svære kår i Norden med #Vipps #MobilePay og #Swish udbredelse.

PS: Husk at du kan vælge at betale med bank i MobilePay, så det ikke blot er en front for et Visa-kort.

#wera - #Europe answer to #us threat to weaponizing #Financial #transaction systems. Era is now the path to decouple European transaktion Systems from US, #visa and #Mastercard

“Every time a European taps a #card, pays online or splits a bill with friends, the transaction flows through infrastructure owned and operated by #American companies. […] And the #data — who bought #what, #where, #when and for how much — leaves European jurisdiction every time.”

“Built on SEPA instant credit transfers, #Wero lets users send #money using just a phone number — no IBAN, no card, no intermediary.”

@Sarahw @acesabe @EUCommission You see the problem?

[...] yet most people still don't know about it.

Until #wero is as convenient and widely accepted as #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard, #PayPal, #ApplePay, #GooglePlay, #AliPay, #WeChatPay, #UnionPay and #JCB combined, noone will give a damn!
- I'm pretty shure there are more than 47 Million users of #Monero in the #EU alone, and I'm not even talking about #Shitcoins like #Bitcoin which are being spun for those that consider Solver, Gold and Platinum to be "peastant's investment"...
Add to that, it isn't even an independent and sanction-free system compared to even Mir, AliPlay, WeChatPay and UnionPay, as the #US government is still able to commit "#EconomicMurder" simply for "#vibes" as @RoteHilfe learned.

#Visa and #MasterCard basically have mass surveillance over #European transactions sown up and profit from the cost of #payment processing, which is money that leaves the continent - but those days are numbered.

The detachment begins.
