Yes, some banks. But as Wero is a european project that aims to build financial infrastructure independent of US tech, I would’ve liked to see such a feature (if it requires an app on a mobile phone anyway). This would make contactless payment without Google feasible for everyone (and terminal providers would only have to implement one new protocol instead of handling each bank’s custom NFC stuff)
I can’t use it on amazon, or to buy a plane or train ticket. Can’t use it to pay for a pizza I order online, or a movie ticket, or a digital download movie or song or album.
I also don’t use cards or phone payment IRL if I can avoid it. But particularly online, where I HAVE to use VISA or paypal, they’re also not supporting those either.
I fail to see how Wero would be practical for paying in a store. Using a card is faster, and if you use your phone to pay, you might as well use NFC.
and how do you pay with NFC? AFAIK that only works with Google Pay / Apple Pay.
Some banks have their own app that works without Google Pay or even without Play Services.

Bank apps don’t implement anything custom. They act like a real card.
