I’ll celebrate when I finally can ditch VISA and Mastercard. I already don’t use them anymore domestically thanks to Twint, but as soon as I cross the border they are currently my only option (even for getting cash).
Had to google Twint. It’s a Swiss payment app, right?
If I got this right, the recent Wero should be its €-equivalent (edit: eurozone, not € per se).
The digital euro on the other hand - again, if I understand it correctly - is digital cash. So to pay with it, you’d have to have a specific digital pocket for it and then exchange Swiss franc for euro/digital euro.
Yup, it’s our home grown payment app that is widely accepted, from your local butcher and farm store to Mediamarkt and all major grocery stores.
Most of us have Euro accounts too, so exchanging money to use the digital euro abroad is no real issue. I go shopping for groceries and personal hygiene products in Germany once or twice per week.

Wow no, just no!
I am nowhere near that ugly town.
