      Unfortunately it’s actually not even a replacement for either of those, only for Google/Apple pay realistically, since you’ll need to use a smartphone like with those. Either an iPhone, or a google-approved Android phone. So no luck I’m afraid.

      Wero is based on SEPA, the Single Euro Payments Area, which only covers countries in Europe. In order to use Wero, your bank (in a SEPA country) has to explicitly support it (not all of them do; I have checking accounts with 3 banks and only one of them has announced plans to support it). And to use it when shopping, the merchant also has to support it.

      Apparently there are plans to link European and Canadian payment systems. But no way the US will do this.
