    I had to stop using Revolut recently when they started using Google’s Play Integrity API to block non-mainline Android devices.

        I think Graphene just does a good job at spoofing Play Integrity verification. Just tried it again:

        Sorry for the photo of a screen; Revolut disallows screenshots so I had my friend take it. Don’t wanna bother him to take a better photo

      Does Wise still work?

      Also can’t you sandbox microG services to get around that integrity check by having a sandboxed Google play store?

      Had to look it up myself

      Wero is a European mobile payment system that should replace Giropay in Germany, Paylib in France,[1] Payconiq in Belgium[2] and Luxembourg, and iDEAL in the Netherlands. The service was launched on 2 July 2024 by the European Payments Initiative.[3] The service competes with PayPal, credit cards and similar services. It started as a real-time payment system in 2024, and from summer 2025 extended online payment functions were added on a step-by-step basis.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wero_(payment)

      Looks like it’s an effort to standardise all the local versions of the same payment systems, which seem to be P2P mobile money transfer and payment systems

      It’s a payment method to send/receive money between individuals. Starting 2026, it will be possible to pay at businesses scanning a QR-code.

      It’s similar to what you can see in Asia, Pix in Brasil, etc.

    I’d love to try it, but a couple weeks ago, Revolut stopped working on my phone with a custom ROM. Now my entire account is pretty much useless. At least the app still works on my old phone which is running the same custom OS, so I can pull my funds and then ditch Revolut.

    I’ve used Wero now a couple of times to transfer money to friends and relatives, and I found it to be very practical and fast. I hope it gains traction.

    Got to wonder what they are expecting to gain from you creating an account, must be worth more than €70

      Probably banking on new users forking out for one of the premium tiers. There’s a lot of flavours, I’m happy with the basic.

      Yes, Bizum will eventually be replaced by Wero. At least that’s the plan. As of right now almost every EU country has it’s own instant layment system. Wero aims at replacing and unifying all of them so that you can use instant payments in other EU countries as well.

      I believe the spanish banks were part of the initial launch, but dipped out last minute for whatever reason. But I’m pretty sure, once it takes off in Germany and France, Spain will follow shortly after.

    Is this available to Americans? Like those who are disillusioned with most big corps that have monopolies so it’s either eat shit or use their services/products.

      No, Wero is Europe only. It’s based on SEPA instant payments which are not supported outside of the EU. It may be in the future, but as of now it isn’t
