I agree, the only (big) problem is that many bank apps don’t work there.

klairman@lemmy.worldOPto Buy European@feddit.uk•German military withdraws soldiers from GreenlandEnglish12·3 months agoDon’t get me wrong, this doesn’t make me happy at all. I think the statement is very appropriate, but Trump isn’t even going to read it. The signal sent by the withdrawal of troops is that Germany is giving in. And Trump will read that.

In fact, some banking apps work by downloading them from app stores other than Apple and Google. I agree that GNU Taler is a better solution, but Wero is still a remarkable advance and a very promising solution for all types of payments in Europe (P2P, online shops, and physical shops).

klairman@lemmy.worldOPto Buy European@feddit.uk•Wero Tracker — European Payment Adoption ProgressEnglish12·3 months agoIt is much more convenient to provide your phone number than your IBAN, both for P2P and online/physical shops. Furthermore, as I understand it, Wero uses SEPA Instant in the background. So it is just a layer on top to facilitate payments.

klairman@lemmy.worldto Buy European@feddit.uk•New Community: Made in Europe: A community dedicated to exchanging about consumer products made in EuropeEnglish7·4 months agoI’m sorry, but I’m very comfortable with this community. I understand and respect your point of view, but I believe that European policies, the purchase of military equipment, and European technology news are all closely related to the same topic: buying and promoting European products and services, and defending our sovereignty. This community isn’t unfortunately very large, and I think it’s better to have everything unified here.

But this service doesn’t need a lot of computing resources so I guess it can be financed through donations or just altruism.
I could fine this post and actually you are right, the compatibility is much better now.
