AFAIK, Wero has planned payment per NFC, but it might take a while. I wish some Austrian banks would have already joined in on Wero, but alas…
Wero already can transfer money between people btw, sending to phone numbers - if the other side already has Wero, it’s direct, if not, they can supply a bank account for deposit
You can get Amex in Europe fairly easily, but acceptance is spotty. I used to have a card in Germany, and while it was usually not a problem with online purchases (domestic and international), shops were 50:50 at best.
We Europeans should soon be able to pay with Wero online. And we can hope that the digital Euro and GNU Taler will establish themselves in the future.
That’s great news for online, but I’d also like a card for offline and that still means either Mastercard or Visa :(
