The European Network for Payments (ENP), launching in 2026 and operational from 2027, aims to offer an interoperable, independent alternative to Visa and Mastercard across 13 European countries, facilitating faster, simpler, and cheaper digital payments for around 130 million users.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new payment network that will bypass Visa and Mastercard across Europe from 2027. This opens immediate chances to integrate with a cheaper, pan-European system that endorses your brand, not theirs.
