Wero is a European mobile payment system intended to replace Giropay in Germany, Paylib in France and to complement Payconiq in Belgium.[1] The service was launched on 2 July 2024 by the European Payments Initiative.[2] The service has the goal to being a competitor for PayPal and similar services, but from the beginning as a real-time payment system and later with extended online payment function.
The name is a portmanteau made up of the English personal pronoun we and the European's common currency's name Euro, but is also based on the Italian vero (true).[3]
