Cool! I wonder how it would work technically, is it just going to be an OTA update to existing POS terminals, or will businesses need to get a new one? Either way, anything to stop using the payment processor duopoly is a good thing.

is this interopable with wero or digital euro initiatives?

Will they have a card-version for those of us not welded to our phones?

No, it doesn’t replace a bank and to be able to pay with NFC, the app will have to be updated first I guess.

They are developing a separate app called Bizum Pay that will act as a wallet and you should be able to pay with it via NFC. What we don't know is if the payment devices stores have will require an update, upgrade or replacement.

Cannot wait. Finally an alternative and local one!

Oh well, I guess if that's what people are doing.

I pay for a lot of stuff in cash anyway, might make a point of doing that more in the future, lol

Yeah, that’s truly the only anonymous option
