Good that they’re working on it, but man is this stuff slow. Germany’s still all in on PayPal. I think the EU should just create a common solution. Oh, and create a common way to confirm identities and sign documents online. This national fragmentation is just dumb.
Oh absolutely, PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard are absolutely crucial. This position allows them to leech off the entire dogital payments system in a way that does not have anything to do with their cost of operating. So an alternative doesn’t hurt.
Regarding online ID: The Norwegian government websites only accept ID from Norwegian providers, and if you want to sign anything with a commercial party you’ll need Norwegian BankID. Germany operates entirely on wet ink sent by snail mail. Some government websites accept ID cards, but the commercial world has not taken notice at all. I don’t know where this unified European ID world is, but my guess is Theoryland and maybe Estonia and Finland.
