Switched to Wero and haven't looked back.

Wero is not a PayPal alternative. It doesn't even have buyer's protection and every bank must manually implement it which immediately makes it a failure. Some banks also connect it to your phone number so you can't link Wero to two different bank accounts with the same number when you have 2 bank accounts. Very messy.

		> Some banks also connect it to your phone number What do you mean "some banks"? I thought the whole value proposition of Wero was instant bank transfers with SEPA but using phone numbers?

Unfortunately peasants like us who don't live in the 5 countries where it's available still can't look back

		I live where it's available and still can't use it to pay stuff, only to transfer money to friends.

You need to use your bank's app for Wero, and many EU banks' apps refuse to run on GrapheneOS for the same reasons as PayPal. This is sadly not a clear win for Wero.

wait for it... I can see a future were every wallet, payment etc. app will block devices which are on custom ROMs and do not pass strong hardware integrity with blessing from Google.

I've read once that there are paid app testing labs which test if an app has root and custom ROM detection and when they don't have that it's a minus point on the report.

Sadly, not even close. I would even dare to say that Klarna is closer to what PayPal is, than Wero.

The website is pages and pages of blankness for me on Firefox mobile.

Does this work in the UK?

		No. We left the EU, so we don't get such fun.
