I was at a #gas station to fill my car because I'm expecting gas price to keep going up

It's expensive. I paid 1,97 per L

But I also noticed this little banner on the pump saying "We prefer Debit/Interac" in french.

Of course, Canadian merchants prefer #interac. It's #visa and #mastercard that have higher fees

This hidden tax is obviously passed to consumers on every product. Maybe everything would be cheaper without it

I'm excited for the launch of #RTR in #canada and see what happens

In 2026 or early 2027, #canada should launch Real-Time Rail (#rtr)

That's basically a new modernised payment system that I hope will:

- Cut out middlemen like #visa and #mastercard
- Replace the outdated #interac

RTR should be faster and work online.

Can't wait for it!

Så, när kommer Wero till Sverige?
Jag har två Visa/Mastercard-kort. Det ena som backup som jag tänkt säga upp länge, för jag använder det inte - detta är kanske tecknet.

Det her er viktig, og viser en av oppsidene ved EU.
