PayPal to Wero or iban
I would classify Wero as US-dependent in multiple areas, since they incorporate US-based trackers. Also in a way that I believe is violating the GDPR. On top of that, the Wero app incorporates a US-based bug tracking system that the user cannot reject, other than maybe blocking it it with a firewall. I also have not seen them officially supporting any of the EU-made operating systems yet. Mandatory Notarization (by OS vendor) in iOS and Android is adding another US-dependent layer.
While there is more EU in Wero than in Paypal, it would be a false claim to call it "EU independent".
OK still a good move but they could do better. PayPal is a useless middleman if wero is around.
I wish Wero was available in Italy :(
The market is already taken by Satispay.
Satispay is just a proprietary solution with no bright future ahead, because the only reasons people were using it are not there anymore (super cheap commissions for merchants; free money if you invite a friend).
Those reasons got people to install it and get accustomed to it. I am sure that students still use it.
