    Because everybody here uses paypal for online payments. Because banks and governments have failed to create a viable alternative. WERO is coming tho. One day. About 20 years after we needed it. soon. still waiting.

      Sweden uses the domestic Swish, works much better than paypal. There are most definitely viable alternatives and have been for quite some time now.

        In Sweden yeah. And in the Netherlands they have iDeal. In Germany the only PayPal alternative for online payments usually are credit card or bank transfer / SEPA mandate. Not everybody has a credit card and direct bank transfer is clunky
