Italy's own QR payment app with millions of users, taken at supermarkets, bars, tabaccherie and small merchants, often with cashback promotions and no card involved at all.
Italy: Satispay signup requires EEA residence and a SEPA bank account, so visitors from the US, UK or Asia cannot join. You lose little: every Satispay merchant also takes contactless cards, so pay those bars and tabaccherie with a tap instead.
