Sorry, how is PIX different than a plethora of similar P2P and p2b solutions already present in Europe?

Surely the UK can also pull this off given how quick faster payments is. I'm always surprised at how we just stuck with Visa

Indian UPI is also apparently annoying Visa and Mastercard so its introducing a small charge on transactions greater than 2000 INR/20 USD.

In Malaysia, we have DuitNow, which is a similar idea. It’s been great. It’s pretty common to go cashless now, even outside the big cities and in rural areas. Just scan the QR code with your bank app, pay, and you’re done. Wish more countries would adopt this.
