@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world Yes, I noticed in the last year that when you use a payment terminal in France, you can now choose CB (Carte Bancaire) instead of US payment providers (Visa, Mastercard).
As my bank offers the CB option, I can make in-person payments in most shops in France using EPI.
Still some work to do though, like rollout across all EU countries and banks. And even though my bank offers Wero wallet, it does not work on my #Murena Fairphone, likely because it relies on some Google component.

@strangequark@dice.camp CB option is good. Am in Italy and my bank is closely tied to MasterCard. Don’t now if it has Wero but there’s something called SatisPay here which, as far as I know, is not connected to US payment providers. It’d be nice to have something that works with smartwatches too - though this is not essential.
