Totally misleading. Without reading all of it: MAYBE it means: it is/will be enabled for 130m people.
And even those of us who have activated it, have hardly used it for the most part, or hve concerns.

No, it's already 130M (out of the ~450M in the EU). Wero's predecessor (iDeal, Bizum, Paylib, Giropay) systems are already widely adapted in their countries of origin and will be fully compatible with it, and Wero itself has had a bit of time to pick up new users on its own by now.
The use is very high (daily) in my social circles these days. No more IBAN sharing. Non tech are on it. YMMV
It was weird to see them bragging about €6MM volume in the first year.
That number must be wrong? Swish volume during one month was €4759MM as comparison.
> The EuroPA alliance, which has already connected Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Andorra since March 2025, serves as a prototype. Six million euros have passed through it in one year, without any particular promotional campaign.
I can't imagine that 6 million number is the total volume.
Given that each participating country already had existing payment systems, perhaps that number is just international payments?
