The European Payments Initiative published a statement on April 27, 2026, disclosing that Wero still relies on services from outside Europe in certain areas. EPI committed to progressively replacing these external dependencies with European-based providers across its technology stack.
All Wero user data is currently stored in European data centers, encrypted to prevent extraterritorial access. The statement addresses long-standing concerns from European policymakers about critical payment infrastructure depending on non-European technology.
