    I hope Wero becomes a EU standard. Sadly our banks have their own system Flik bu the issue is you literally cannot use it to pay anywhere. But they refuse tp accept wero due to having their own system.

      It’s pretty much clear that it will not. Wero was late and most countries already have their own systems. They all signed an agreement last year to work on integrations. Wero will not replace all of them. Which is good because Wero is controlled mostly by German and French banks.

        Well that would work as well. But afaik our current banks have not joined any integration programs it was just a few nations that did. Bit in the end if they all integrate and I am able to use our own system to pay in most pf the EU I don’t really care. As long as it works.

          Afaik there is a schedule, atm it’s not EU wide yet.

          I’m sure there will be a wide support fairly soon (2027? oh, it’s already in all the countries they opted in - and it’s per county, not per bank, eg Revolut), especially as Wero gets more adopted for all the things. It’s prob already the biggest of them with 50m users.

          These local solutions (from banks or startups) will get integrated into the system (imho) as intermediaries offering some additional value (idk, credit payments or whatever).
