If in the EU. Try WERO and tell your bank how to make it better if you truly care about an alternative to PayPal and the Visa/Master duopoly.

(And to all the reply-guys with their "Yes, but what about my de-googled phone?" You are the 0.001% of users. You made your choice to use a setup of which you knew it will not always work. I hope you can switch to a bank that supports your setup. In my personal opinion the decoupling from the Master/Visa duopoly is however far more important.)

@jwildeboer I just hope there will come some real alternatives in the Nordics, as #Vipps is a piece of sh.... Especially for users on #degoogled Android. It so often requires a full reset and re-login to activate it because it believes the non-rooted phone is rooted. This is the only banking app I have used which behaves like that. The issue has been reported and ignored by them multiple times.
I've also worked in the bank where Vipps originates from ... That also is of great concern, as the working morale in the division I was in was depressing. I hope the branching out of Vipps to a separate company has helped. But given the ignorance to fixing issues, I have strong doubts. Adding more features which enables user tracking and moving towards a marketplace app has way more attention.
@dazo @jwildeboer Vipps MobilePay is part of it, so probably not.

@jwildeboer Ye pushing this Wero as something that "[does not touch] a single American network" is really sloppy. Wero can only run on devices with Android or Ios! Why doesn't anybody higher up in the food chain seem to understand this?

@m_berberich Da musst du bei deiner Bank fragen ob sie das in ihrem Web Angebot einbinden können.

@quite I didn't say that. I quoted an article. Please direct your argument towards the authors, not to me?

If in the EU. Try WERO and tell your bank how to make it better if you truly care about an alternative to PayPal and the Visa/Master duopoly. Don’t expect the perfect solution. Understand that alternatives are never better or perfect from the get-go but that we need to tell them through using them how to become better and better. Be a pioneer, not a follower

@guacamole Bei Galaxus/Otto geht auch IBAN/SEPA. Wero ist ja "nur" ein bequemer Layer um SEPA Überweisungen zu vereinfachen. Anbindung der POS (Point Of Sale) Zahlungssysteme soll in diesem Jahr kräftig forciert werden.

Dann müßte aber jeder Shop für jede Bank einen extra Button haben? Klingt wenig praktikabel.

The decoupling is very valuable. I hope in the future they will provide that service for people who really really really don't do banking via mobile phone, also.
