    While I get what you mean, the group that pushed this idiocy is actually Australian.

    Visa and MC are still parasitic fucking blights though, to be fair.

      Visa and Mastercard were under no obligation to give in to this group, yet they did. They are equally culpable in this whole fiasco.

      In my honest opinion Wero is not the solution to this specific problem either.
      They could potentially also unilaterally decide that they won’t allow payments for specific types of purchases (Though they are still preferable to relying in American payment providers).

      The real solution is proper regulation of payment providers that blocks them from refusing service.
