This is great news if it’s true, these regulations are so hazy it’s maddening. Even tho I’m being downvoted I am actually on the side of removing these barriers I was just sharing what I was made to understand by my bank. shrug
All Dutch banks for example? I do instant online payments and P2P payments all the time with a degoogled phone. My VISA credit card app (ICS) also works fine.
I can't pick up a slab of beer at Albert Heijn because it requires Google Pay. But some banks (I think Rabobank) have their own NFC app and then it works fine.
But instant online iDEAL payments etc. work fine. Person to person payments using Tikkie/betaalverzoek as wel.
Put differently, I never use my bank's web interface, only the phone app.
Though the Sparkasse is the same actually, unsure about the other german banks
