On June 5, 2013, a major step was taken towards the harmonization of card payments in Europe.

Picture a pristine strategy deck projected in the boardroom: bold growth curves, purpose-driven mantras, and a promise to “re-imagine banking for the digital age.” Now contrast that cinematic vision with the reality on your phone—an app that greets you with a spinning wheel, a five-step login, and a “try again later” toast.
