The next step

iDEAL becomes Wero

One click. One change. Everything different. From next year, iDEAL gradually transitions into Wero — the new European payment system.

What is Wero?

Wero is the new European payment system that makes paying easier, online and in-store. Consumers pay directly from their own bank account, just like with iDEAL. Wero is already live in Belgium, Germany, and France — the Netherlands follows soon.

The power of iDEAL, now for all of Europe

Wero is built on the foundation of iDEAL, backed by major European banks — including the Dutch banks behind iDEAL today. You’ll recognise the same ease of use and security, with one added benefit: a payment method that also works across borders, in a single click at checkout.

Phase 1: iDEAL | Wero

You’ll start seeing the new iDEAL | Wero logo, but otherwise nothing changes for now — your checkout keeps working, your payment service provider stays the same, and there’s nothing you need to adjust yet. Behind the scenes, transactions are gradually and securely migrated to the new Wero infrastructure.

Your own iDEAL provider will keep you informed with everything you need, including the new logo and how to use it, well ahead of time.

What does this mean for you?

  • Your PSP will handle the updates and the new logo.
  • Everything will keep working as usual.

And for your customers?

  • The same familiar payment experience via their bank.
  • Wero will gradually become visible, while iDEAL remains recognisable.

Why it matters

  • One European solution instead of a patchwork of local payment methods.
  • Ready-made international growth — sell abroad and let tourists pay in a way they already recognise.
  • The same trust and security your customers already associate with iDEAL.
