Ever thought about how strange it is that this duopoly handles such a large volume of transactions?

What are we doing to combat this?

    When you say digital wallet, I have Apple Pay but that’s just a layer between payment and my Mastercards

    Is there something I could get that’s widely accepted?

    In fact all payment portals I’ve seen demand a visa mastercard

      “Is there something I could get that’s widely accepted?”

      Probably not if you’re in a country that didn’t skip over cards.

      In China, for example, there’s one protocol, the QR at the prodce stand or the hotel tell you where to send or receive money from, you check the details, enter the password, the transfer executes.

      So if you move to country that’s moved past cards, then ecommerce is running on mobile digital wallets or bank accounts(older digital wallets) directly that you can join.
