@harrysintonen In addition to Russia cutting the cables, my concern is for VISA and other US credit card providers cutting service to specific, targeted individuals or even whole countries. We've already seen precedent for both.
@christopherkunz A solution that mitigates this risk would be preferable, indeed. As reported in https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2025/html/ecb.pr250228_1~7f0697af45.en.html in 2022 only 37% of payments used national systems. Even those likely have many dependencies to systems outside of EU.
