💡 Developing a domestic alternative to cards should be high on the list of priorities for the next European Commission and Parliament. The good news is Europe doesn't need to reinvent the wheel or to reproduce the closed bank payment scheme model at the SEPA level. It already has the 4 main building blocks for a compelling alternative: ⚡ Real-time payments, with the help of the Instant Payments Regulation. 🔌 Open banking to bring real-time payments to merchants and consumers. ⚖ A balanced commercial model with financial incentives for premium APIs. 👮♂️ A true single market for payments, eliminating IBAN discrimination. 📈 This formula creates a real-time, account-to-account payment method which stimulates both competition and innovation, leads to lower costs for merchants and consumers, and unlocks Europe’s payment infrastructure.
