Wero (the new iDEAL) is coming, and the scammers are already waiting

iDEAL, the Dutch payment standard, is getting a European successor called Wero. On TV-show Kassa, Danny Mekić explains why that’s largely good news — shoppers will soon get proper buyer protection when ordering from Germany or Belgium — but flags the uncomfortable flipside. Phishing gangs are already lining up to impersonate a brand almost no one recognises yet, because unfamiliarity is exactly what makes their scams work. And if Wero becomes a real rival to Visa and Mastercard, Danny expects merchants to pay more over time — which, eventually, means consumers will too.
