Unfortunately (for the EU) it doesn't work like this for several reasons:

- There is no money in building wallets, only [high and sustained] costs

- Banks and VLOPs (Very Large Online Providers) are unlikely to accept more than a handful of wallets.  In fact, GSDV in Germany has already begun integrating EUDIW functionality in their mobile banking app.  Fragmentation is a European specialty.

- Last but not least: the payment part of the EUDIW is way below the competition and will [rightfully] be rejected.  The competition is both fierce and more focused.  The EUDIW folks talks about SCA (Strong Customer Authentication).  However, EU banks have SCA in production since years back.
