> Credit cards will become widely accepted in Europe.
I'm sorry, what? Credit cards are available and accepted basically everywhere in Europe. I've been to 15+ European countries and never had a single issue paying with a credit card. Credit cards are also widely owned and issued all over Europe.
Why would you make this statement? What am I missing?
Depends on where you are.
Vpay and Maestro cards will disappear in Europe and will be replaced by Mastercard Debit and Visa Debit. This forces merchants to also accept foreign creditcards.
