After a first successful Wero trial transaction, Pay. is officially joining Wero as Member and will now be rolling out the solution to merchants.
Enschede, 2nd September 2025 – Pay. announces today having successfully completed its first Wero transaction with a test merchant, marking a significant milestone in its ambition to become one of the first payment service providers in the Netherlands to incorporate Wero into its payment portfolio.
Joining the EPI consortium as a member marks an important step forward in the evolution of digital payments across Europe and reminds of Pay. commitment to offering best-in-class solutions to its clients. It not only demonstrates the technical maturity of the Wero system but also highlights Pay. leadership in embracing the first Pan-European mobile-first payment standard and be a day-one supporter for European independence.
The collaboration enables Pay. to offer a forward-looking, seamless, and secure payment solution for both businesses and consumers throughout Europe.
With Wero integration, merchants can accept payments from European consumers across participating markets through a single technical connection and managing the transactions end-to-end. This unified approach enhances the customer payment experience while reducing the operational burden for merchants.
In the second half of 2025, Wero will be available via Pay. in Germany, followed by Belgium in H1 2026. The rollout in the Netherlands will start beginning of H2 2026 , in line with iDEAL’s migration to Wero.
“Wero offers a good evolution from iDEAL, with the integration of additional consumer benefits as consumer protection and easy integrations of new functionalities. For consumers, the option to start a dispute, and for merchants, a way to let many European account holders pay easily.”, comments Olaf Kok, Founder of PAY.nl
“We are thrilled to welcome Pay.nl as new member to the European Payments Initiative and to already foresee some projects being achieved. Pay. will be a true ally in addressing merchants across our participating markets.”, adds Martina Weimert, CEO of EPI.
