Yeah, I'm aware, but I would hope for only needing one app across Europe, and not one for central Europe, one for northern Europe etc.
Also easier for tourists, as you can only set up Mobilepay if you have a bank account in one of the supportes countries and if your Google store location is set to that country.
What I ment to say with it, is that those are already better supported than this wero (more banks and stores) according to what the tracker says there is of wero support.
So shouldn't we rather hope vipps/mobilepay is the one that spreads to the rest of Europe?
Better supported is a matter of definition I'd say. Sure, Mobilepay is better supported by stores, but Wero is already now supported by more countries.
Wero is backed by a broad consortium of banks and aims to be a pan-european payment solution, while Mobilepay has been around for a while and seems to be content with staying mainly in the Nordics. Ideally Mobilepay would be compatible with Wero, but I feel that they are quite protective of their market share
