Rather than a card which would be bad for the environment, expensive and unnecessary marketing.
Could you consider account-to-account (A2A) payments, they are used widely in e-commerce and have several benefits including a very practical solution for personal fund transfers?
You could even have an Oceania Wallet or just Australia and New Zealand, similar to the EuroWallet. The policy is already available from Europe: Press corner | European Commission.
You could look to Swish which is already widely adopted in Sweden - Swish - För en enklare vardag sedan 2012.. Alternatively the United States has already adopted similar services.
In the future, a retailer’s QR code anywhere in the world might trigger customers’ smartphone wallets to then push the money directly from their bank accounts to the merchant’s bank accounts while keeping their personally-identifiable information safely locked up in a bank vault. Of course, transparency and security would be of the utmost priority.
It would be interesting to know how Debut will protect the security, privacy and integrity of indviduals with a growing Web3 network…
