Europe moved $1.06tn on Mastercard cards in Q3, ahead of the US, while card growth fell to 3.2%. Merchants now bring £1.9bn in new UK claims. What else slowed?

      Yeah, I have a visa card, but that’s the last option for me. I always try to pay another way if possible.

    My bank would like me to move from Giro TO Visa for some reason. I ignore them and the old card still works.

    I even used Klarna (🤢) to avoid Visa. No idea why so many shops dont support Vorkasse (bank transaction in advance) or invoice.

      Probably because it involve to set up yet another check.
      Same with instant bank transfers (even though I am using them more and more often to be honest) which basically are pratically the same thing as a credit card payment with the advantage (for the seller) that the commission are paid by the buyer
