      Most european banking entities already have and use SEPA.

        Any alternative non US, Europe wide card network? I suppose you could use Mir, or UnionPay.

    They are partially Chinese owned, so you can imagine Trump having a fit could be ordering AWS and GCP to stop servicing this bank.
