I used Wero for the first time yesterday, and I found it very easy to link to my bank account (just one click on a pop-up). The app is really convenient.

I visited their website and discovered that Wero is currently available in most banks in France, Belgium, and Germany. Their goal is to create a payment system across all of Europe, enabling online payments, in-store payments, or even replacing IBAN transfers.

Wero website

" Wero is part of the European Payments Initiative (EPI), supported by 14 major European banks and the two largest payment processors in Europe. Our goal is to create a new payment system for Europe, for the future."

I think Wero could replace Visa and Mastercard in our daily payments. I would like to hear your thoughts on this. If you are in France, Belgium, or Germany, you can activate it. Initially, this will support the project, as it is not yet fully functional to replace the payment methods of all European countries.

    Weird. Literally in the last few years they put in hundreds of bancontact big branded ATMs everywhere and leased storefronts for them and removed all of the bank ATMs. Seems like a bad investment if they are just going to have to replace them lol

      Well, not sure how it’s going to be managed for the ATMs, they are probably going to stay. Wero is probably just going to replace the payment app.
