I was looking for an alternative for PayPal and quickly stumbled upon Wero. But unfortunately Wero isn’t yet acceppted by all countries, banks and online shops. So I built werotracker.eu to keep track of the adoption of Wero.

➡️ Link: https://werotracker.eu/

This dashboard has the following features:

📈 Show adoption stats

🔍 Search for banks and online shops

✅ Filter for countries and support status (supported/announced/unsupported)

💸 See individual payment features (P2P, eCommerce, POS), not every Wero implementation is equal

📱 App availability

I hope this dashboard is helpful to you 😀

The site as well as the data is open-source under the Apache 2.0 License. You can find the source-code here: https://github.com/sharknoon/wero-tracker

If you see an error or your bank is missing, please give us a hint or contribute directly: https://github.com/sharknoon/wero-tracker?tab=readme-ov-file#contribution

Thank you and have fun 🎉

    I know what GNU Taler is about and even took a look at it several month ago, tried the demo wallet. Even my bank is also following the progression close.

    The first hurdle to get people on board I usability. I don’t disagree with you for the long-term, but at the moment - until further support - GNU Taler is for tech savvy people whereas WERO is in the middle of a broader rollout even at merchants.

    As with Android or iOS. There are alternative mostly Android based OSes, but as long as simple stuff like banking does not work (due to root/trust issues) the acceptance from an end-user-perspective will remain low. Changing mindsets and ecosystems is a long-term game.

      I fear that without more Bank adoption and dog-fooding of GNU Taler, it may not ever get that additional support, as it is diverted in favor of the ‘good enough’ solution of Wero. I can’t say I’d mind having Wero in addition to Taler as an option.

      Are you both arguing that we don’t need banking on anything but iOS and Android because people won’t switch, and that people won’t switch because banking only works on iOS and Android?

      Btw: Banking works of course on my non-Android/non-iOS Smartphones. Somehow the banks have zero trust issues in letting me use their Onlinebanking Website from these devices. With my hardware QR Tan generator I can easily make instant SEPA transfers using these devices. But if I see a Wero QR code, I have no means to send money to the receiver.

        You know exactly that a different type of (App-based) banking is meant by that 🤷‍♂️

        And no, we’re not arguing that.
