Paypal is quite popular in Germany but with Wero that popularity will decrease significantly. I expect that all around the Europe.

Paying with Paypal is as easy as logging in. With Wero/iDeal you always need a phone or a code. People trust PayPal more too.

		Wero has a for merchant/commerce part that integrates with PSPs. For instance Adyen: https://www.adyen.com/knowledge-hub/wero But we aren't there yet.

I don't know if popular is quite the right word. It certainly is widely used though...

I have not tried Wero, but I have tried the german predecessor (paydirekt/giropay). It was ... not much less smooth than PayPal.

But I’ve only ever seen a single vendor offering it. 0 for Wero so far.

I don't think vendors can offer Wero yet. I think it's part of the merger with other European companies.

That is what keeps confusing me when people hype wero. It essentially (I think some limited trials?) doesn't exist for B2C, and sending money to friends is a very minor use case.

So once it has really broad support and can be used as merchant, is when it'll maybe become interesting.

		Well it's a nice thing to be able to send money across european countries only with a phone number even if it's only among consumers for now. But it's been confirmed they are merging with companies that are already B2C in their own countries to bring a european B2C system

Wero is essentially iDeal. iDeal is great.

		Great for merchants, not so much for consumers. Once the merchant has your money it's very difficult to get it back if things go wrong.
