      Hi OP! I didn’t mean to be negative, but it depends on what you use x Wallet for:

      • if you use to consolidate cards, then it will be a bit harder but it will accomplish the goal
      • if you use to pay from your phone, then there are a multitude of national apps, which UX this again a bit worse, imho. In Italy we have Satispay, then there’s Wero Pay (DE, FR, BE, NL iirc), Swish (SE) and Mobile Pay (DK, FI and maybe NO). We should aim for a EU-wide payment app

        There is a project for a wide eu platform, it goes a bit further than that including other functionality, however, even if they started a few years ago, they didn’t make massive progress. This is the only service based in Europe (UK) that provides service to all Europe.
