France is the only EU country that has kept a sovereign payment card system similar to #Mastercard and #Visa. It's called #CB and it's supported, together with either one of the other two American systems, in most of French credit cards.
A few months ago #Apple decided to prioritize CB payments in Apple Pay. And now #Samsung Pay is doing the same for accounts hosted at La Banque Postale.

I hope this gets way bigger and ends up hurting US financial system.
