NOTICE (September 2, 2026)
Correction: EPI moved Wero's official Luxembourg market launch to 1 September 2026 (The Paypers, 6 August 2026); Payconiq is to be permanently withdrawn from 30 September 2026
BGL BNP Paribas, Bil, Banque Raiffeisen and Spuerkeess began rolling out Wero to Luxembourg customers at the end of June 2026. Luxembourg is the fourth European market for the EPI-backed payment wallet, after Germany, France and Belgium.
Luxembourg customers gain access to person-to-person transfers, QR code-based in-store payments and e-commerce payments from launch. The phaseout of Payconiq follows, with the brand scheduled for full replacement by September 2026.
Wero now serves 55 million users across its active markets.
