📱☝️ Tap to Pay is the way to go for payments in Europe. But is NFC really the best solution for every payment situation, both at home and abroad?    This and more was discussed during an inspiring morning at the 2nd Innovation in Payments event, organized by Sopra Steria and galitt.    Christian Pirkner joined the panel on “Hybrid Payments & Tap to Pay by Account”. Together with colleagues from IDEMIA, EPI Company, Vipps MobilePay, and galitt, he talked about Bluecode’s efforts on interoperability, the power of strategic partnerships, and why a mix of different payment technologies will be a leading solution for a global payment product.    💡 🎤 At Bluecode, we believe that an account-based payment solution with worldwide acceptance and small added values brings the most convenience to users. Different regions rely on different technologies, which is why Bluecode is building the world’s first Payment Roaming platform:    👉🏻 Scan a QR code at a food stand in Asia  👉🏻 Tap on a terminal in shops around the globe  👉🏻 Show a barcode in your local supermarket and automatically redeem loyalty points    This magic is made possible through the power of interoperability - and Bluecode made it happen! Working together with other networks to ensure worldwide acceptance. 🌍✨    #Bluecode #Interoperability #PaymentRoaming #MobilePayments

At the “Jahresforum Cashless Payment” by imh · Institut Manfred Hämmerle GmbH in Vienna, one message was clear: Payment sovereignty in Europe is not a vision for tomorrow – it’s an urgent need today. Our CEO Christian Pirkner joined the panel “Payment made in Europe: Digital Euro, EU-Wallet, and the answer to Visa & Co” to discuss how Europe must reduce its dependency on non-European payment actors and strengthen its sovereignty in the global payment landscape. Our answer is interoperability. Bluecode’s approach shows that connecting existing systems is not only possible, but more relevant than ever. The time is pressing – and we are ready and live now. A big thank you to the organizers and our fellow panelists from Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Oesterreichische Nationalbank, EPI Company and the Wirtschaftskammer Österreich for this impactful discussion. 📸 Impressions from the event: © imh, Bluecode #CashlessPayments #Bluecode #EuropeanPayment #DigitalEuro #PaymentSovereignty #Interoperability
