Swedbank discontinuing their wallet App
Found out today when one of my cards was greyed out and I logged out and in again to reload my cards. Good thing I always have one of my physical cards with me, otherwise I would have had to construct some form of sail on my car to get home. As far as I know that was the last European, at least Swedish Wallet app that wasn't one of the tech giants Wallets. It was a good run but I'm back to plastic cards I guess. Really hoping for a European alternative to master card/visa will be revealed soon and with a digital wallet to go with it. If I'm wrong here and there is a EU based Wallet compatible with /e/OS, Android please let me know.

I didn't even know I had this option before.
Sure hope it wasn't the last option.
Personally I'm waiting for this list to grow: Vilka kort stöder blippning med Vipps?.
There is a European alternative to Visa/Mastercard! It's Wero.
I've looked at it before, but is that an actual card? Thought it was a purely digital peer-to-peer payment system?
it hasn’t been completely rolled out, end of current year we should be seeing some good rollout progress

It's as you say, but also customer to business
Fyi, WERO runs on AWS
Can't Wero try to change servers?
Depends on allot of things but usually its a huge task to move away from a platform like AWS
