What the Experts Say
Experts are weighing in on the new payment system, with some expressing enthusiasm for its potential to simplify online transactions.
Wero is basically an EU-wide version of the Dutch iDeal system, which in my opinion is the gold standard of how internet payment should work.
Others are highlighting the benefits of Wero for international transactions.
A Frenchman using Wero will be able to transfer money to a Spanish friend on Bizum, with the same simplicity as a domestic payment.
Security and Sovereignty
Some experts are also discussing the importance of sovereign payment systems for protecting national sovereignty and security.
