Bluecode as European mobile payment alternative (www.bluecode.com)

This is an Austrian company that offers mobile payments with barcode/qr-code in shops in Austria and Germany, as well as in a few places in Italy and Luxembourg.

I use it since one year. It works fine, but it could definitely use more attention, so that more shops start to accept it. What are your thoughts on that?

It's shit, I've lived in Austria for a few months last year and the only German Bank they've supported was N26

That's not the case any more. I could add my german bank, which is not n26.

Ok, they seem to offer a more restricted subset in their jö&Go Partnership with REWE.

Their support is indeed a bit better, but I don't get why they offer only a few selected Sparkasse and Volksbanks when PSD2 exists and Klarna manages to support all of them

It's still in early access so it not working as well as the more established alternatives isn't all that surprising. That'll change if it manages to take off.

I think Wero will be more successful. But we'll see. Nothing wrong with multiple European competing systems

Absolutely. We've seen the drawbacks of tech monopolies now.
