The credit card networks and paypal are part of the Libra alliance. My guess is, Libra will have the same problems as the current solutions but it will make onboarding easier for unbanked people in other countries who just need a whatsapp account to start using Libra. But for countries where most people already have a Visa/Mastercard, it's kind of redundant. Kind of like bitcoin in fact without the censorship but with price stability.
