For the first time in a while Bavaria doing something based? No way

where does the german administration require you to use Visa/MC? I never needed it. What about Kleinanzeigen btw?

Damn, they make a separate payment app and then still make themselves dependent on US monopolies, that’s sad

Depending on how much it gets rolled out and when people demand it more it might just get rolled out late

https://werotracker.eu/ This website is quite decent but I don’t think you can subscribe/get a notification from it

But AFAIK Visa/MC only get money when the Debitcard network is used as fallback instead of Visa/MC even if it has their logo on it.

Wait thats crazy. For my banks it was always standard to issue Girocard for free and then Debit/Credit Card on demand

Wtf?? They wanted your bank password on a form of this? Sounds like a fucking scam website

Yeah I was mostly talking about european shops. Shops outside of Europe that don’t have SEPA often sadly can’t offer it. Sometimes there is no way to avoid but as long as you check and reduce usage less money will flow to them. I used to always use my Visa debit card as I didn’t like change and stuff but now I look for alternatives
