Wero is essentially iDeal. iDeal is great.
- r1ch 2mo agoGreat 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.
- omnimus 2mo agoWhat is the alternative? I am not sure i can get my money back once they leave the card.
- hocuspocus 2mo agoWhich is pretty much the case with Visa and MC too. There's little card payment fraud in Europe thanks to mandated strong authentication, and very low transaction fees as interchange is capped by the EU; card issuers don't initiate chargebacks so easily.
- SkiFire13 2mo ago> There's little card payment fraud You're confusing fraud as in unauthorized payments with fraud as in you not receiving what you paid for. The latter is not prevented by 3DS in any way.
- hocuspocus 2mo agoNo I'm not. Ask anyone who tried to dispute a purchase that happened within the EEA, whether online with SCA or card present with PIN, card issuers often tell you to deal with the merchant directly. The interchange cap has significantly reduced revenue made on card payments, they have an incentive to avoid unnecessary manual work.
- whazor 2mo agoIt is not. Wero has charge back support and therefor higher fees. There is quite some interest in Pay by Bank via PSD2 APIs. This is much more similar to iDeal and can work for the entire EU.
- hocuspocus 2mo agoI've never used iDEAL but I assume the confusion comes from the fact checkout widgets (e.g. from Adyen) are transitioning from iDEAL to "iDEAL | Wero". I assume UX is the same, i.e. scan a QR code with your mobile wallet app? If I understand correctly it's developed by the same people: Payconiq.
