There are two main ways that the Europe QR code payment market has changed: account-to-account (A2A) payments using SEPA and national real-time rails, and wallet-style consumer experiences that use scannable codes at the point of interaction. Early adopters were practical and came from within the country. Nordic countries preferred mobile person-to-person and in-store QR payments, Central and Eastern Europe used bank apps to make payment requests, and Southern Europe used QR codes in public bills and e-government services. Standardized payload formats made it possible for any bank app that was part of SEPA to start transfers. At the same time, the rise of smartphones and mobile banking made QR codes a common way to make quick payments, send invoices, and make donations.
The market is now shaped by three trends: QR codes are becoming the standard way to make payments between accounts; QR codes are moving from being static to dynamic at the point of sale; and QR codes are being used more and more in areas other than retail, such as transportation, culture, and public services. Dynamic codes cut down on fraud, make reconciliation easier, and work with loyalty programs and post-payment engagement. Instant euro transfers let you send money in seconds. Biometric login, codes that expire, and merchant verification are all security measures that help people trust you. Market strategies focus on making QR work with other systems, adding it to workflows, and integrating it into the public sector.
