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

Based in Copenhagen, I think.

You don't have to.

As far as I can make out, by the time that they launch, they will have been audited and will have many other checks done, which should be enough for many. EU at least, has advertising regulations that should protect us enough to check out the app upon viewing any claims that they will have made by then. So by the time it comes to us actually being able to use the app, and assuming that they will have advertised and marketed it as a privacy focused alternative to Apple and Google pay, it should be trustworthy enough.
