Wero has more than 50M registered users and €7.5B in transfers. If you're evaluating Wero, hear directly from financial institutions that already navigated this decision.

Whether you're an issuing bank, acquiring bank, or payment service provider, Wero represents the next generation of European payments. But the strategic decisions you face, how to approach them, what challenges to expect, and how to move forward, are best informed by peers already in motion.

In this panel discussion, financial institutions already evaluated or implemented Wero and shared their real-world journey:
• Current market status and what's happening across Europe
• Implementation roadmaps: timelines, decisions, and trade-offs
• Regional perspectives: how Wero adoption looks in different markets
• The operational challenges they're facing

Who should attend?

Financial institution leaders and decision-makers responsible for payment strategy, digital innovation, or technology investment who are evaluating Wero and want to learn from peers that already navigated these decisions.

Why attend? Discover the operational challenges your institution needs to solve with Wero payments, learn how to launch fast and connect with experts who've already done it.
