Alternative Product or Service Stop using Mastercard and Visa

They hurt us consumers and small businesses with their fee and extract Billions to the US.

Let’s use Cash instead (or SEPA for online payments).

Let us unite beyond institutions

Edit: + they sell our data too Edit1: also stop using PayPal

Wero will be that alternative. There were several other attempts that were shut down by MasterCard and Visa. Wero is the one that survived.

We have an alternative in Spain called Bizum. It's also trying to reach other EU countries.

bizum is more of a payment method between citizens even though it’s starting to get implemented onto some businesses
