Does Europe's payments strategy add up?
"EU residents have an impressive range of ways to pay for goods and services at home – including with cash, cards, smartphones, direct debits, bank transfers and instant payment apps. Yet the EU institutions have spent years fretting that most of these services do not work seamlessly across borders. The main way residents pay for goods and services across the whole bloc remains American payment networks like Visa and Mastercard. There is still no EU-wide payments champion, despite the EU’s many efforts to foster one."

But if we don't think about money all of these FOOS tools will remain toys for middle class people who don't mind spending a few of their own dimes on keeping them running. It's a barrier to entry. Can it be lowered or knocked down?

#Wero might become the next best thing?

It's kinda Paypal done by European banks (🇩🇪🇫🇷🇧🇪🇳🇱), without any fees.
Not sure if it will be available internationally.
But the two major German coop banking groups are on board, so that might be as good as it gets from a "power to the people" perspective.

The new month has started and that means new bills for the servers! We have various expenses and moderation work unfortunately eats up a lot of time 
Our services will always remain free, but support for the costs, so that the whole thing can run in the long term and finance itself, I highly welcome 
For a longer explanation of the costs and other donation options, see here!
