@SrMono Haha, yeah, something did go wrong here. It should be easier to integrate.

@SrMono They are not compatible. I would love them to be compatible as well.

If you go to "Milestones" on the EMPSA website linked above, you get the info about ongoing collaborations between the members. Bluecode is integrated with the Austrian and Italian counterparts, so lucky you to have at least that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, Wero seems more international.

@ShadyQuark So in Germany it would be Bluecode. Idk how widely used it is.

I've lived in Poland and Sweden, Blik and Swish can be used almost everywhere, including many grocery stores and most online purchases (so it is an alternative to Visa/Mastercard as well).

@ShadyQuark I have an answer that is generalizable across many European states. There is the European Mobile Payment Systems Association:

The payment systems here are widely used in many EU countries. I have not lived in Germany, generally when I travel there, I am astonished how much cash-based everything is (I have no strong opinion on it, though).
