There is a payment app/bank account in Europe who doesn't need Google Play Services to fully works?

Those aren't exactly qr codes, but rather a scan code, different thing.

Though yes, one could pay using qr here. But I never do it because anyone can make QR codes. With those scan codes you need more additional verification, it's safer.

    Some enterprising individuals in the US figured out you could print out your Venmo QR and stick it to parking signs to get people to just send you money

    Honestly, it might be I'm wrong about this since I don't live in a big city so maybe it's different in like NYC or some shit, but I'm under the impression that QR Codes have kinda been dead in the US. At least I hardly ever see one in the wild anymore. Mainly I presume for that reason. It's a prime way for malware injection.
