#onlinepayments — Public Fediverse posts

Question for the banking/privacy-savvy people on Fedi: my bank recently told me I could start using #ClickToPay

The idea looks OK on paper (you use your email and they validate your credentials with the bank without the website ever accessing said credentials and without going through an additional 3rd party.

However, I did not find much detail on how this actually works, where data is stored, what is shared, etc.

What's your opinion on it privacy-wise?

I was fortunate present my thoughts at #FOSDEM 2026. I think it went pretty well... though a little rushed.

It's at least a good survey of where I think we as a community need to head, and how my work on #Emissary meets each of these needs

Key Points:
* Bring creators to the Fediverse (#OnlinePayments)
* Work together to operate like a single unit (#FEP3b86)
* Killer Features they can't copy (#DataPortability)
* Whatever YOU do, go make the Fediverse better

The other is when I ordered a TV, after my old one died after 13 years. I selected "Trade up" collection that included a £xxx discount, but it automatically added an incompatible lesser discount at the final payment stage, and I lost the collection and the discount. It wasn't transparent.

I've asked the support folks nicely, twice, explaining that I had specified the collection with discount (...). Anyway, I hope for better.

For years I've been meaning to do a deep dive on digital payments (what people call "FinTech"). I intended to achieve 2 main things;

1) Map out the fundamentals structure of payments stacks

2) Look at different payment services (eg OpenCollective, Stripe, Visa) and locate them in the right layer(s) of the stack

@trysdyn has done a fantastic job of the first part here, and in doing so, some of the second part;

Almost all of the online payment providers you interact with is backed by one of a handful of giant payment processors (eg PayPal and Stripe, or in China, AliPay and WeChatPay). That are essentially an API between you and the credit card company your card belongs to. That are, in turn. basically APIs between you and the company that hosts your bank accounts.

In other words, companies are squeezing on chokepoints between you and your bank.

Disposable virtual cards are the best feature of Revolut. None of the last 10 payments I've made need permanent access to my credit card. This should be a default in any bank.
