EPI LAUNCHES WERO
Its innovative digital payment wallet in Germany, alongside founding members -
DSGV and DZ BANK, followed by Deutsche Bank German customers can now make
instant money transfers from account to account between individuals, via their
banking application.
Brussels, July 2nd 2024
European Payments Initiative (EPI), a European-grown player committed to
offering a sovereign payment solution to all consumers on the continent, today
announced the launch of its mobile-first wallet and instant account-to-account
payment solution, wero, for customers of German Sparkassen and Volksbanken,
Raiffeisenbanken. Deutsche Bank will launch wero later this year starting with
Postbank at the end of summer. Furthermore, the service will also be available
in Belgium by the end of July for KBC customers. Wero will begin service in
France in September / October, after pilots processed over summer. All EPI bank
members will roll-out within the next six months.
The first service of wero to be launched are person-to-person (P2P)
transactions. One of the main advantages of wero is its speed, allowing the
consumer to send and receive money easily, by using just a phone number or an
app generated personal QR code or an email address, within 10 seconds, that will
be received directly in his bank account, without the need of an intermediary
account. Wero will enable customers in Germany – soon in Belgium and France as
well - to transfer and request money simply and instantly to and from third
parties. Transfers beyond Germany's borders will also be available, as
cross-border payments will be integrated as well. The Netherlands and Luxemburg
will follow in a subsequent step.
Wero's promise for the future is simple: to become, over time, a single, trusted
wallet bringing together all the payment functionalities that meet the needs of
users across Europe. Thanks to its integration with the banking applications of
member banks in Europe, wero will give users a complete overview of their
account balance and spending in real time, directly from their bank account and
enable them to manage their payments in a secure and convenient way.
In 2025, wero's services will be enhanced with new features, including the
ability to pay any small professional from the wallet, and also pay merchants
online and upon invoices via QR code. This includes the ability for consumers to
manage recurring payments for subscriptions or installments, but
also to pay in merchant apps at point of sale without going through the cashier,
or in any other payment scenario. In-store payments at the cash register will
also be added in 2026, along with other capabilities, such as Buy Now-Pay Later,
merchant loyalty, program integration, expense sharing, etc.
‘We are delighted to announce the launch of wero, which begins with the start of
the service in the German market. To familiarize consumers with wero, we’re
starting with person-to-person transactions, but wero's aim in the future is to
offer all kind of payments through a single wallet combining the simplicity,
immediacy and security of the banks. We are excited that from now on we can
progressively deliver new value through additional services to the European
market.’ said Martina Weimert, CEO of EPI.
‘The launch of wero marks an important step towards enhancing Europe's financial
independence. Further steps and functionalities will follow, gradually
establishing wero as a central solution for all transactions. Our goal is to
sustainably build this innovative solution, paving the way for a secure and
efficient digital payment future in Europe.’
- Dr. Joachim Schmalzl

payments for all types of retail transactions via a digital wallet. Based on
instant account-to-account payments, wero will further streamline payments in
Europe by eliminating intermediaries in the payment chain and the associated
costs. Wero will initially support P2P payments. This will be followed by P2Pro
payments and payments for online and mobile purchases. Point-of-sale payments
will also be included, along with value-added services such as the integration
of the merchant loyalty programmes and instant financing.
