An important step in moving away from Mastercard & Visa. And the best part is that WERO comes with no transaction fees

Finally some USE for wero.

(for those that didn't know it's been available a while but what use is it if you can only do peer to peer transfers)

Some local e-stores started using WERO. It was more dissimilar to ordering with iDeal then I was expecting, but ultimately works the same: Press payment link, the you finish payment in your own banks environment, both acknowledge either payment success or failure and payment is instant. Except now WERO initiated a payment order in my banking app that I got notified of and could finish, where before, it would link to 'starting payment now'.
