This is an Austrian company that offers mobile payments with barcode/qr-code in shops in Austria and Germany, as well as in a few places in Italy and Luxembourg.

I use it since one year. It works fine, but it could definitely use more attention, so that more shops start to accept it. What are your thoughts on that?

    We need a European alternative to MasterCard and Visa. Two American companies own basically the non-cash market. The digital euro can’t come soon enough

    Being Austrian, and especially interested in shopping national or even regional, not just European, I’m interested. But the website says the company is situated in Switzerland? Where did you get that it’s an Austrian company?

    The problem in Europe is exactly the fragmentation of payment systems. For most you can only use them if you are a resident and have a bank account on that country.

      Yeah I don’t get whats it all about? Been visiting China lately and even their bums had QR codes since nobody used cash anymore. We got laughed at when we wanted to use cash. Can we please not become China? I like my cash.
