Currently there are only alternatives online like Klarna (and iDeal in the Netherlands). The only way to do it in store is paying cash sadly

What's so "sadly" about it? It's a solution to a problem, it's easy, and it's simple.

Cash is insanely inconvenient, cannot be used at self checkout (which is the only reason I don't despise doing groceries), is more risk carrying big amounts and not even accepted above a certain amount in most stores.

We just need an actual Visa/Mastercard EU edition.

If you are building a CC network, look at blockchain as the method, specifically Monero or XMR. It is anonymous and so far had been unbroken so is currently untraceable. If EU supports anonymous purchases then even better, just feed cash into the ATM to load your XMR-backed account.

I would rather use cash than ever touch something using blockchain technology
