The iDEAL|Wero migration
iDEAL|Wero, the redirect method built into Dutch banking apps, is the main way to pay online in the Netherlands: before the Wero co-branding, iDEAL handled 1.47 billion payments worth €141 billion in 2024, and iDEAL|Wero paid for 72% of Dutch online purchases in Q1 2026. The co-branding started in early 2026, all Dutch banks are connected to Wero by October 2026, and transactions then move gradually to Wero's infrastructure, with the migration due to end by December 31, 2027. The in3 installment option built into the Dutch method was wound down in 2025.
Wero across the Benelux
Wero, the European wallet from EPI, had 56 million users in Europe in July 2026. It went live for e-commerce in Belgium in March 2026 at ING, KBC and BNP Paribas Fortis, next to Bancontact, and replaces Payconiq in Luxembourg, where the Payconiq app shut down on September 30, 2026. Merchants and PSPs should check readiness for the iDEAL|Wero migration.
