      Do you need one?

      I recently deleted my PayPal account and use a virtual credit card instead.

      So far no issues with paying. In the rare case that credit card is not available you can always pay without account in PayPal via credit card.

        You went back to the banking industry and you report this event as a good thing?

          You are telling me you are paying via PayPal without involving the banking industry?

          I have the choice to either tell PayPal and my bank what I’m buying or just my bank. I chose the latter.

        Far as I know it’s more of a send money from phone to phone thing for now. My bank supports it, but it’s only an option in the app which I don’t use.
        It is especially sad since it was meant to replace giropay, which actually was more like Paypal than wero is.
        Let’s hope it is just a matter of time.

          It will be open later to shop and eshop. Probably around 2026. I saw a élog post about their roadmap.
