The death grip that they have over everything is more than anything in history.

Well, banks here in NL have been using VISA and Mastercard cards, but that is more so people can use them in America/Canada and some other countries which are still behind on chipped cards.

But over the years I have seen 40-50 different payment platforms and most of them do not use Visa or Mastercard.
