- iamacyborg 6y agoYep, although I'm interested to see what'll happen with card schemes if Open Banking in the UK/EU allows direct peer to peer payments.
- rory 6y agoThese two are the same network now, so if a vendor accepts Discover, they accept Diners Club and vice versa. Discover bought out DC in 2008. My understanding is it's pretty tough to compete with the big guys in this market because you need to build out a huge network of vendors who accept your card for it to be useful to customers.
- iamacyborg 6y agoI previously worked at a company that provided card payment terminals to merchants in the UK. IIRC around the time I was leaving Discover/DC were offering us financial incentives to support their scheme across our network of merchants.
