Wero is maybe the one with the broadest geographical coverage and it still only covers 5 countries

I have discovered Curve recently. It lets me pay through the phone's NFC where Google Pay refuses to do so. Curve is the direct payment processor.

    Curve is a UK company.

    Having worked in the Financial Industry in London, I wouldn't trust any UK financial solution provider (including payment processors) any more than a US one since Financial Regulation in both is a joke, both governments are in thrall to Finance and both governments are, for supposed Democracies, insanely high on civil society surveillance having things like secret information courts that can just issue secret bulk surveillance orders.

    The UK might be in the European Continent, but for somebody based on the EU they provide no more rights than the US.

    If one is based in the EU, it's overall safer to stick to EU based companies where one actually has some right and companies doing fishy things towards EU citizens run real risks of being heavily punished for it.
