Overview
- Wero can now be used for e‑commerce in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium, expanding beyond its person‑to‑person transfers.
- Eventim is live with Wero, and retailers including Lidl, Rossmann, Decathlon, CEWE, Cineplex, Zooplus, Hornbach, Dott, Air Europa, Veepee, BAUR and Käfer have announced plans to add it, with operators saying availability should reach about 150 merchants by year‑end.
- In Germany, Sparkassen and the cooperative banks are already supporting Wero, with Postbank and Deutsche Bank expected next, followed by ING Deutschland and Revolut.
- EPI reports more than 46 million Wero users across Europe, including 1.3 million at German savings banks.
- In‑store checkout is not yet available and is planned for 2026–2027 as Wero seeks traction against PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and tech wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
