Any hope for Wero app and tap-to-pay functionality?
I am a big fan of Wero and European payment solutions. I genuinely can't stand why all the infra for my payments is currently USA-owned, from MC/Visa to Apple and Google Pay.
I currently use Wero for P2P payments in Belgium, and it works just fine. For online payments we have Bancontact, but I of course hope Wero will be introduced for a true pan-European solution that goes across borders (unlike Bancontact, which is very much BeNeLux only).
That being said, I really wish Wero would also use its strong positioning and user base to introduce a tap-to-pay wallet solution, that would be an alternative to Apple and Google Pay. It is such a simple functionality that basically boils down to agreeing with banks (Wero is perfectly positioned to do it), yet we have really zero EU alternatives. There is Curve from UK, there is Vipps for Nordics, but nothing truly for the EU.
In Belgium, I simply removed my Apple Wallet and pay with physical cards, but I really wish Wero would release its app (currently not available in Belgium) and add tap-to-pay functionality so I can add my KBC cards to a European and sovereign Wero Wallet.
Is there any hope this can happen this year or next?
Thanks and keep up the good work at Wero!
