European payment groups form ENP to challenge Visa and Mastercard

Five European payment providers (Bizum, Bancomat, Wero, SIBS-MB WAY, Vipps MobilePay) announced a joint venture, the European Network for Payments (ENP), headquartered in Madrid, to create a cross-border payment network serving ~130 million users across 13 countries. This is a strategic move to reduce Europe's reliance on US payment giants Visa and Mastercard, potentially reshaping the European payments landscape. The initiative is in early stages; regulatory approval and operational details remain uncertain.
