Yes, the only difference is that you need to communicate your bank account number and likely your legal name.

Wero doesn't change that as it's just another interface for SEPA instant payments. In its current version, it just adds phone numbers as an alias. Via the phone number you can also find out their full name and, after a transaction, their account number, as long as they've enabled Wero for their account.

in Latvia we need to do this for domestic payments anyway. We use IBAN even for domestic payments..

> and likely your legal name.

not mandatory. If provided, the bank tells you whether the recipient name matches the account, but if not, you can proceed with the payment anyway.

They made it mandatory in NL not long ago iirc, or at least the validation now is and the bank doesn't let me leave the field blank. It does seem to be okay with variants of the name

I, too, would prefer to just be able to give people a random number to send money to. Isn't that a GDPR requirement anyway: data minimisation? Can they legally require this beyond their 90% of the law (that is, custody of the thing I'm trying to move)?

which... isn't really a problem for legal transfers, is it

[Markoff]

not the case in Czechia, only thing you need is bank account number and bank code, nothing else
