Nice to see the EU-wide online payments system (WERO) is rolling out as planned. I didn't realise it was already available in France, Germany, and Belgium.
WERO is (in part) based off of iDEAL which is used for online payments in the Netherlands. It feels so antiquated whenever I have to use a website that still only accepts credit cards.
I also like how these EU solutions don't just involve handing out payments processing to middlemen tech companies like PayPal.
