  • Get rid of american payment providers

  • That is not true. Girocard used to partner with maestro (part of mastercard). The maestro part of the card was only used if the girocard was not supported where you wanted to pay. That partnership was terminated. New girocards are simple girocards. Which also means they cannot be used outside of Germany anymore. Hell, there are even terminals in Germany that don’t support girocard anymore

  • Not all banks have this. And I think this is only possible on Android? From what I know Apple does not allow to replace Apple Pay.

  • Everyone that I know pays with their phone. So yeah, Apple Pay and Google Pay are big in some parts of Europe at least.

  • retirement savings in Germany, how much do I need?

    Jump

  • They send a letter once per year with a summary and an estimation of how much your pension will be if you keep contributing the same amount. Not sure how that takes inflation into account, €2k in 2025 will not have the same value in 2055, but yeah …

  • You do not have to. At least iOS allows you to select if you want to give access to all contacts, specific contacts or no contacts at all.

    It’s like many of the messaging apps: how would you be able to select to whom to send money if you don’t share the contacts

  • It’s in progress

  • Independence Pay. Made in Europe

  • Independence from US card companies? When you pay with a VISA card, VISA takes a fee. Or any other card. They all take a fee. Same if you add them to PayPal. The card issuer takes a fee, PayPal takes a fee. Mastercard just blocked the selling of certain games on Steam because they wont allow transactions for games with sexual content.

    There are many valid reasons to not rely on the VISA/ Mastercard/AMEX etc. these were just some examples.

    When you use wero - it’s connected directly to your bank account. No card issuer involved.

  • A lot of European tech companies rely on American infrastructure, since there aren’t many EU alternatives to what AWS and the like offer.
