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.
Understanding it as an alternative to PayPal and a convenience tool for wire transfers I see no bigger privacy issue.
You either state your bank account and name for a purchase with company or use this handle, to provide the exact same data.
Alternative to visa and Mastercard potentially as well not just PayPal.
Which you can’t really escape anyway since one of those two is very likely the provider for your bank’s debit card.
Yes but if the Point of Sale start using WERO that will be a drop in commission for them
