Wero is a payment service aiming at providing a digital wallet. According to the cited article, Revolut – a UK-based digital bank – partners with Wero. This might be a good accelerator, as Wero was perceived quite sleepy in the past few month.

The British neobank Revolut is set to become a partner of the European payment platform “Wero”, making it the first major fintech to join the European Payments Initiative (EPI). Although Revolut will not initially become a shareholder, it plans to offer Wero as a payment option for its customers. It is a so-called “scheme member”. Up to now, EPI has mainly involved traditional banks such as Deutsche Bank, Postbank, savings banks and cooperative banks. Revolut is now bringing a breath of fresh air to the project and the pressure on other banks to implement e-commerce solutions around Wero more quickly is growing. Revolut is known for rolling out new services quickly. The partnership could therefore significantly speed up the European payment project.
