Good thing iDEAL payment system is part of EU payment initiative and has some of the lowest fees you’ll see in the world. Grocery stores for example will refuse Credit Cards from Visa and Mastercard, but they’ll take iDEAL payment in the Netherlands. Netherlands is not the United States.
iDEAL has been acquired by WERO which is an EU initiative for pan-European payment system. Wero is being rolled out by banks in France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxemburg.
That’s not an option for a lot of countries that are going cashless. In Netherlands (we have our own payment service) a lot of merchants are cashless.
It’s hard to find any electronics that is EU, or for that matter non-Asian. The entire electronic supply chain is in Asia centered around China, so they will have a competitive edge.
