Amazon Germany to Accept Wero

Great. Getting some of the big businesses to accept Wero is critical for its success. Now if only my bank would support it already.

I've been paying with Bancomat Pay on Amazon in Italy for a long time. Once EuroPA and EPI will be integrated together [0], it will be possible to pay with Wero on Amazon Italy as well.

Wish the UK had access to wero.

Much as I like my Amex card a non US alternative would be nice as secondary option.

You can reach out to Revolut, they are based on UK.

Already checked. Uk revolut accounts can’t get wero

Sure, but why not use Revolut directly?

I do have a revolut card already. Revolut is visa based though. May as well stick to an Amex then. They’re both deeply ingrained in the US system

Interesting, I didn't know that the UK wasn't going to be a part of Wero. You still have SEPA though right?

Hopefully this comes with time.

>I didn't know that the UK wasn't going to be a part of Wero.

Yes some unfortunate choices were made a while back. Plus I'm a EU citizen so not having access to EU sovereign payment mechanisms is a bit...sigh

>You still have SEPA though right?

Quick google says yes, though I've never encountered it in real life / seen a merchant offer it. That may just be failure on my part though...will keep an eye out for it!

I expect most businesses that accept IDeal in the Netherlands will accept Wero, because they already have the code for it.

I've been paying with IDeal for a long time.

Sure, but the neat thing about this is that Germany did not have IDeal, but is starting to get Wero adoption.

> because they already have the code for it

That's not how it generally works in most businesses.

At least some do not. I have been presented “IDeal/Wero” QR code which were unreadable for my banking app (which supports Wero).

Modern banking is so messed up, no idea how anyone can be excited about it.
