Unzer, a payments and software provider for SMBs, has announced that it has gone live with Wero, Europe’s newest digital payment solution.
Following this announcement, the institutions will focus on inviting merchants to adopt these payment methods, as well as to gain a competitive advantage through the use of a single connection via Unzer’s integrated platform, UnzerOne.
In addition, by including Unzer’s merchants on Wero, officials of EPI mentioned that the initiative is expected to bring the institution closer to a secure and efficient European payment ecosystem. Together, the companies are set to give businesses and consumers the possibility to access a product that is simple, connected, and trusted.
The partnership’s focus on providing fast and secure payments for merchants
According to the official press release, Wero was launched in 2024 as a mobile-first wallet for instant account-to-account payments, while also being backed by more than 16 European banks and payment service providers. At the beginning, the solution was available for ecommerce and mobile payments, with plans to gradually expand to in-store acceptance, offering a secure payment experience without the need for multiple providers or technical complexity.
Unzer is set to bring Wero ecommerce payments live for customers and partners in the region of Germany. Through the use of a single, straightforward setup powered by Unzer, users will have the possibility to pay securely and quickly by using their banking app or the Wero app. A the same time, the funds will be received directly in EUR, and transactions will be automatically recorded in order to ensure a secure, hassle-free process without extra paperwork or manual reconciliation.
Furthermore, Unzer is expected to expand Wero acceptance in 2026 to additional use cases such as in-store payments, subscriptions, and loyalty programs. The roll-out is planned to include the overall enablement of Wero for Unzer’s Luxembourgish customer base as well. Both institutions are expected to focus on meeting the needs, preferences, and demands of clients and users in an ever-evolving market, while prioritising the process of remaining compliant with the regulatory requirements and laws of the industry as well.
