Well, take Germany. Every store supports contactless, but MasterCard refuses to offer EC Cards with contactless, and wants to move customers to credit cards (which earn them far more profit – over 20 times the transaction fee).

Oh, and we don’t get Android Pay either.

As a result, the experience is horrible. And for every single bit US corporations are to blame.
