The idea is that merchants will ditch the card-pos in the long run. You scan a QR-code or send money through some app. Satispay does that in Italy and got massive rollout from stores because fees were pretty low also for smaller transfers, so no more "sorry, at least 5 euros to pay with card"

Too bad you will be forced to use a phone then. I don't like having yet another single point of failure. But maybe by that time, the EU requirement to accept cash will have taken force.

Indeed. It's a step forward and two backwards, personally I don't have payment cards on the phone wallet because one company surveilling my purchases is enough. Hopefully there will be some Wero-powered card option. From a UX point of view, both payers and merchants, it's still the most practical and fast.
