Not yet but hopefully in the next months: https://wero-wallet.eu/

Wero won't support credit cards AFAIK (unlike the payment app OP mentioned), only bank accounts. Or do you talk about paying from an app in general?

[–] copacetic@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, that’s correct. Wero is just SEPA underneath.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Just... 🤔 SEPA might be all one needs to pay in all situations. I think Wero is a good idea and indeed already have the app installed.

Many European banks have their own contactless payment solutions. Here are some examples (it's a German article): https://www.kuketz-blog.de/nfc-datenschutzfreundlich-bezahlen-mit-dem-android-phone/

They usually also work on (not European, but Canadian) GrapheneOS with no issues.

yea, but sadly my bank doesn't have such an app. i think I'l have to stick with my debit card until a better solution comes up

For what purpose? And what country/region?

[–] Stzyxh@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For paying in supermarkets or shops

[–] fedtemis 1 points 1 day ago

If you need contactless or card payments in a shop; use your card.

Unless the shop supports a scheme through an app or other service. That depends on the shop and the region.

Curve right now. Granted you have to Register yourself with a Credit Card from them, but then you can add your existing ones onto the App and instruct Android to use that App instead of Pay.

I read their Privacy Policy. They share a lot of Data with other companys. I know for that this is needed to transfer the money, but they also share data with advertising companys. I think Wero would be better in that point

[–] ADTJ@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

I don't think there's any plan for Wero to support NFC payments

Some banks offered it. For their own customers. But not anymore. And I believe there was Yandex pay. (But comming from Russia you would probably wat to avoid that too)
