When? Because until last month they still had Maestro on them. It's likely that you used that in those other countries unknowingly. EC is a distinctly German thing.
right my bad, yes ofc with maestro on it i thoguht ec was a general word for electronic payment with a debit card
It's important to note that Maestro was just killed off by Mastercard. So now you'll need a Visa or Mastercard Debit Card. Which is probably one of the reasons why the EU would like a system that isn't dependant on these two US companies.
My Sparkassenkarte worked perfectly fine in the Netherlands just 3 weeks ago.
I didn't even know they killed Maestro and assumed it used that.
They killed it at the end of June, so I assume it did still use Maestro.
