Track Wero payment adoption across European banks. See which banks support P2P, online, and in-store payments.

The shop situation looks pretty grim, hopefully that'll change sooner than later.

I don't know about other local systems, but the Wero branding is already starting to show up when making iDeal payments. I think there's a good chance that at least in the short-to-medium term, the transition is going to be largely seamless for stores, where support for the local system translates into support for Wero, and all they really have to do is change the name in the order form.

All they really had to do is copy the twint app from switzerland, they have the perfect blueprint to copy. I really hope this works, but holy moly, the french app - paylib - which wero replaced allowed you to pay in shops, but now we cant with Wero, for an unspecified amount of time. Forced to use visa/mastercard in france now. It makes you wonder who all these marketing experts and banking and political decision makers are... we're going to remove functionality and then hope user adoption goes up. In store payments should have continued using paylib background in the interim, or the wero in store payments should have been set up from the start. Its not that bloody difficult.
