You see, here in Europe(at least in my country) we have a system where you can allow certain companies e.g. your mobile provider to just take the monthly amount from your account, without you having to bother with setting up recurring payments or worse, paying it manually, but it’s fully under your control, you set the upper limit and you can cancel it from your side anytime.
Yeah and in my country quark is widespread, but still because of online influence local content creators keep pushing cottage cheese into desserts (because that’s what you guys do in the US), and I am like fuck off, we have quark here, just make sweet recipes with quark, it’s what it is for.
The UI makes it seem push-based, but it’s actually pull based. There is no technical barrier from pulling from someone’s account. Any malicious entity can do this if they present the bank with a forged hand signature. Or, of course, a malicious bank. Or, of course, a malicious employee at a bank.
Worse, banks won’t let you create a whitelist of accounts that are explicitly permitted pull from your account (called “positive pay” for ACH)

Your cheese is better than ours, too.

Huh? Nobody below the age of 80 likes cottage cheese here. That shit is for people born before WWII to put on their canned peaches.
You probably don’t follow the fitness recipes space online, it’s a cottage cheese epidemic

Ah yes, the secret to dieting: eat food that tastes like shit.
Lol. Wait till you learn that SEPA is pull-based
You do not have control. But you do have laws that allow you to challenge the pull, if you notice it within the window
In what world is SEPA pull based, they can’t just remove money from your account.
Yes, they can.
