That works for account to account transfers and in shop payment with your card. The online payment world is still a lot more fragmented.

The online payment world is still a lot more fragmented.
Valve literally only needs an EU bank account. Doesn’t help the rest of the world but the outlandish claim was that within Europe Valve would need to support “at least one local payment system” per country and that’s just wrong.
I believe Valve already supports all the local payment systems in Europe, though they’ll only show it to you if you’re in one of those countries (the payment processing flow asks you which country are you paying from upfront and then uses that to display the various payment systems available for that country).
Same for GOG, by the way.
The problem is mainly that to sell to anywhere in Europe a seller has to integrate with the many local payment systems out there, which is a lot of work for a small seller.

Um, no? They can provide an IBAN and then you can pay almost instantly with most banks, with the worst ones taking a business day or two.
