@jt_rebelo@ciberlandia.pt Yeah, this is the only thing I can do for now, I suppose. I am aware of Wero but they don't support my bank (yet?). I'm not aware of credit card providers that are not US-based but I'll admit that I did not conduct a ton of research in this direction. Are there any alternatives worth mentioning? @joeress@mastodon.social

@thedoctor@polymaths.social we do what we can, can't ask for more. I was thinking about WERO. There are solutions under the BANCOMAT, Bizum and MB Way (Spain, Italy and Portugal) apps, but they still require a Visa or Mastercard card (for bank account validation and online payments/temporary credit card creation and management), there are cross-border transfers without the card flag already, and in-shop and online payments (through the system, not the Visa/Mastercard cards) are next (coming early 2027 according to a proof-of-concept from April 2026). In Northern Europe there are banks that issue cards that aren't from either Visa or Mastercard, but those are all from Norway and Denmark AFAIK. @joeress@mastodon.social
