I’ve been working in the last few years of getting rid of big tech services. PayPal and Amazon are left. I’ve been questioning the need for PayPal in a world of virtual credit cards. My main reason for using it was security of purchase but I feel this need is no longer there. BTW, equivalent EU service to PayPal that is equally well accepted? Feels like this one may be more difficult to satisfy.
I think you’re possibly looking for Wero and its predecessors (iDEAL, Giropay, etc)
It’s relatively new in its current form, but I think it’s being adopted across the EU at an alright rate
Right, successor of Paylib too. From a user standpoint, it’s the same than Paypal except that it uses phone numbers for identifiers. It’s supported by a lot of banks already (no need for additional app / account).
+1 for Wero! We have to get it adopted. If anyone’s bank doesn’t support it yet, and you need to switch banks for other reasons, best include Wero support among your criteria. ING is among those banks whose support for it is the best.
