It is a shame, they use american cloud tec 🥲
One step at a time
I’ve read about it it’s apparently a northern European initiative to create something that already exists in a lot of southern countries but independently. They also don’t want to use our systems, and will probably force us to swap to wero.
Really weird time to start animosity with south and north. I’ll keep using Bizum…
That’s a weird take… I never heard of bizum, likely because it is something super local, like some of the payment systems the Danes have. These companies never really wanted a pan-european system in the first place. Wero is trying to establish this. E-commerce functions will roll out soon and after that, you’ll also be able to pay in shops. It’s going to be a real alternative to PayPal some day. I don’t see how this is creating a divide between north and south?
Maybe inform yourself more before commenting then I guess. Bizum is not a company per se, it’s an initiative from the Spanish government supported by the banks. Portugal has their own and Italy too iirc. They even are all integrated between them, I can use Bizum to send money to someone from Italy using MB Way and so forth.
As stated, it’s weird that they are rolling these systems first on the countries like germany when there’s southern countries with systems that are super similar. If you have seen the wero roadmap the plan to roll out to southern countries is years away,they are prioritising integration in Germany and so on before unification.
You mention all they want to roll out and that [I’ll] be able to use it in commerces, yeah no that’s my point I won’t because they are not prioritising the rollout where I live, when we already have a very similar technology and the adoption would have been fast. Don’t they want users?
The reason why the southern countries separated from the initiative is because instead of using our highly adopted systems as base, the northern initiative wanted us to spend money to develop everything from scratch, which is pretentious and idiotic, but not a surprise…
I don’t like how Wero presents itself as the unifying solution, when the best thing would have been to integrate with the already working international interconnectivity of country specific systems.
