That is possible, of course, but European companies and citizens are less crazy so far. No guarantees, but the chance is here. Plus, more competition might force older processors to drop irrelevant to their work arbitrary stupid limitations.
The US has the Fair Access to Banking Act trying to do similar things, but it’s been stagnant for 2 years.
This bill places restrictions on certain banks, credit unions, and payment card networks if they refuse to do business with a person who complies with the law. Restrictions include prohibiting the use of electronic funds transfer systems and lending programs, termination of an institution’s depository insurance, and specified civil penalties.
Banks and other specified financial institutions are allowed to deny financial services to a person only if the denial is justified by a documented failure of that person to meet quantitative, impartial, risk-based standards established in advance by the institution. This justification may not be based upon reputational risks to the institution. Banks may also deny services to a person who engaged in rude or harassing conduct toward an employee of the bank.
The bill establishes the right for a person to bring a civil action for a violation of this bill.
Yes, but the american payment processors are the ones in power and actually carrying out these punishments. They could’ve simply chosen to ignore that group and nothing would’ve happened.

European independent payment processor? Nooooo, US’s ass is so tasty to kiss…
USA is a lost cause already, but EU still has a chance. Get rid of USA-related anything. Let them sit there and eat corn and watch superhero movies.
What makes you think that “European independent payment processor” would not pressure companies to follow similar (or worse) rules for “compliance”?

EU banks are working on it

There’s some sort of SEPA instant payments that come into effect this fall, I think, too.

Wasn’t the activist group Australian?
Sorry about them!

True, given past history it’s just a nice excuse
Hey, corn is nutritious.
