My Bank: We don't support it and don't plan to do it. 🤷‍♂️ I cannot switch the bank so easily because of contracts.

So is that something like Twint?

Is there really a reason we need a dedicated payment service? Iirc in the US you can't just wire money to people with your regular bank account and that's why PayPal took off. It might save you a few seconds compared to filling in your credit card details when online shopping but is that really worth it?

Legit question, but yes. Transferring money via QR-code/e-Mail/Phonenumber is worth it. Obviously the hurdles are big enough, so that the most money transfers with my peers (e.g. for balancing a shared pizza order) happen to be via PayPal.
