Big leap forward for wero

It seems like there was a big leap forward for wero.

If you search for “wero” in the German news, it seems like a lot of banks activated it yesterday-ish.

Mine is covered 🙂

I’m a little bit disappointed, that my cell phone number is the unique ID for transactions.

Edit:

Tried to search which banks are supported. This is just a selection and even the selector on the wero-webpage is not up-to-date.

Germany: Deutsche Bank, DZ Bank, GLS, Savings Banks Association (DSGV), Postbank, BBBank, Sparkasse, Haspa, Volksbank, Sparda Banken, Ethikbank, Evangelische Bank e.G.,...
France: Société Générale, Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas.
Other: ING, Rabobank, Revolut.

I guess the good thing is that the set of people that want to send you money overlaps with the set of people that already know your phone number. To me it seems like a sane PayPal replacement.

It will be, when the merchants adopt it.

Regarding the phone. It looks as if you can perform transactions by phone, name or e-Mail. It was my banks decision to got with the phone as primary identifier. I guess QR-code transaction will be the most common way of transferring person 2 person, if they are within visible range.

Merchants will still take a while. From the website:

Starting in 2026, one simple integration will connect merchants like you to every Wero user across Europe

Merchants should contact their Payment service Providers first to integrate with Wero.
