It’s absolutely a monopoly and while there are several banks involved, there’s still a common organization behind it. When were you last able to buy apples from a farmer with PayPal?

[–] ZheoTheThird@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A farmer's a business, though. You can pay all contactless businesses with Apple/Google pay or Revolut.

For P2P payments there's always Revolut and Paypal, both let you send money to people that don't have accounts (unlike Twint).

Mostly there’s just a Twint QR code. At our school, it’s the only option to pay other than cash.
