Grupurile de plăţi interne din Europa își unesc forțele pentru a-și reduce dependența față de Visa și Mastercard - Economica.net

European payment groups, including Bizum and Bancomat, have announced a joint venture to oversee cross-border payments, aiming to reduce reliance on US firms like Visa and Mastercard. The new European Payment Network (EPN) will be based in Madrid and will create a common interoperability center to connect existing payment systems. This initiative comes as Europe seeks to enhance its payment infrastructure ahead of the planned introduction of a digital euro by 2029. The founding members represent around 10 million customers across 13 countries, covering over 70% of the EU and Norway's population.
