It literally just launched in 2-3 markets only, and it has the baking of banks, EU, regulatory bodies. Which is a big hurdle to clear and Taler is not even at the first hurdle yet, they got rejected in fact.

Having it integrated in every banks app is actually better, so people don’t have to set up another app and register for something. Why should they, if it’s build for being interoperable…just like using your banks Visa or Mastercard like right now.

Just give it some years, it also took a while to get instant transactions or Apple Pay and other mobile payment systems. It’s not like a web app you just deploy and you are online worldwide.
