Found it interesting, something worth keeping an eye on. Hasnโ€™t released yet, planned date end of 2026.

Based in Copenhagen, I think.

The founder did answer some questions on reddit (user ColeFromWalt)

They say: "โ‚ฌ10 a year sustains infrastructure and annual audits."

However, I don't, at a glance, see any audits on their website. And yeah, I'm going to want one of those before I trust my CC info to some random startup (it says: "Your card details never leave your device." But the software is seemingly proprietary, and without an audit, those words are empty.)

    Yep, will be waiting for published third party security audit results and compliance reports. About open-source he said :

    Correct! It's not open source and at least for the foreseeable future, I'm planning on keeping it closed. Like JG mentioned, because of internal audit requirements that I'll be going through in Visa and MC over the next few months, I need to ease that pain as much as possible. They treat open source finance products with increased scrutiny.
