I really wish we could have these 3 options on every credit card terminal

What's JCB and wero?
- Both are payment processors as JCB is Japanese while Wero is Belge.
  
  Why would these be good options in Canada?
Is Interac not an option everywhere?
- I don’t see it in a lot of places sadly.
  
  Where in Canada are you that you don't see Interac?
  My corner homeless person tales Interac...
  
  In my experience, all the places that I’ve been to that aren’t cash-only accept Interac (or just debit), both large and small businesses that sometimes don’t have the Interac sticker. It could be my luck, but I’ve yet to find one that has a card terminal and doesn’t do Interac.
  
  This is surprising to me. I can’t think of a single instance ever where I encountered a store payment terminal in Canada that didn’t accept Interac debit. Do you have an example?
A surprising number of places in Vancouver accept China's UnionPay 银联, lol.
I would love to see credit unions use these!
- There's nearly 300 credit unions that use Interac.
- I mean, RBC uses Interac, so it should be pretty widespread throughout Canada.
  
  Its everywhere in Canada. Never been a place I couldn't use it, even out in the boonies.
