If in the EU. Try WERO and tell your bank how to make it better if you truly care about an alternative to PayPal and the Visa/Master duopoly. Don’t expect the perfect solution. Understand that alternatives are never better or perfect from the get-go but that we need to tell them through using them how to become better and better. Be a pioneer, not a follower
@jwildeboer hopefully the "become better and better" includes wero from migrating to an european cloud service instead of using aws.

@jwildeboer the first step would be to Tell My bank to implement it. #DKB

@jwildeboer I opened a ticket about WERO support with my bank end of last year and they responded, that they have no plans to support it

@mc Tell them. PayPal and Visa/Master aren’t better in that regard. Change through use beats criticising from the sidelines.

@Larvitz So change to a bank that does

@panda4x4 keep on asking.

@jwildeboer in a worst case scenario paypal and credit cards are effectively unusable. hence i already forwarded my comment to my personal bank and EPI.

@jwildeboer well it is hard to try when it's not available yet. For now it is only Germany, France and Belgium. It will take a few years before it will be wider available. Here in the Netherlands, we only see a Wero logo next to the iDEAL logo, and it will be during 2027 before we actually see anything from it.
But it definitely is an interesting development.

@schmitzel76 „only“ Germany, France and Belgium still means many millions of potential users.

@Larvitz @jwildeboer Same here, they told me "not in this decade"

@Larvitz @jwildeboer Same here. Triodos Bank in Germany also had no intentions to implement Wero. Then I found out that they are going to retreat from Germany anyway. So I chose a new Bank with a good perspective concerning Wero. That's life, I guess.

@jwildeboer it seems to be euro only, so no luck in
. But Visa/Master have slowly been replaced by instant QR transfers here. -
@Larvitz So change to a bank that does
@jwildeboer I haven't found one yet, that fits all my requirements unfortunately
I really like that my Bank is allowing me to create subaccounts with their own IBAN number and havily use that for clean seperation of things. -

@jwildeboer the most annoying thing about Wero banks will probably not listen to: it's so immensely centered on those banking apps

The expected „yes, but“ is strong in the replies.
(I will now go to bed, so the "yes,, but" crowd will have its playing field until I wake up again and post friendly replies with links on how they are wrong. My advice: Try Wero, note it isn't perfect, tell Wero and your bank what is needed for you to switch fully. We can do this -

@j_r my bank (Postbank in Germany) allows me to use the Wero app.

@jwildeboer if Wero is the next evolution of iDeal, sounds good to me. I like iDeal
