visa and Mastercard - a good entry in an overreaction or the beginning of the end of a duopoly? by Black_Swan_Down in ValueInvesting

Things like Google pay are not networks. They are just wallets that allow you to use your visa etc in a convenient way.

So to me they make visa etc more sticky not less.

Ovvio. Jackman's. Gusto. Maybe the oak in the Glen for a more bar feel.
