      There is EMPSA, EuroPA and EPI’s Wero. It seems like EMPSA and EuroPA share some members between them and EuroPA and EPI are in a partnership. So kind of indirectly they are working together.

      I think the reason Wero is getting attention is because its branded the same in all currently served countries/banks(?, I think), instead of just your banks/mobile apps being branded differently in each country but still being in an alliance on the backend.

        the entire point of the empsa is building a network of compatible apps so that people don’t have to switch. the bank alliance-backed payment apps have already mostly captured their respective national markets, and getting a new actor into that market is goung to take a huge amount of effort. empsa also has actors in fifteen countries, while wero is in three.
