This looks like it proves me wrong and at least two dutch banks will not require a smartphone app to pay with Wero, if this actually refers to the upcoming actual Wero transition. > At Rabobank, "approximately 8 percent of all transactions" are conducted using the Rabo Scanner, says a spokesperson. A spokesperson says that research shows that 15 percent of customers prefer using the scanner instead of the app because they find the Scanner secure. > There are no problems at Rabobank with the transition from iDeal to Wero, according to a spokesperson. Therefore, nothing changes for customers who use the Scanner with the transition this autumn. > At ABN Amro, the tool for making payments via online banking is called the E.dentifier. According to a spokesperson, around 250,000 ABN Amro customers are using this device this month, which is 4 percent of the total. The number of users is declining because, according to the bank, more and more customers are switching to the app. > Although ABN Amro intends to continue offering the internet banking function, including for payments via Wero, the bank will be phasing out the E.dentifier over the coming year. ABN Amro is currently already in the process of informing the first private customers about the switch to the so-called USB Security Key. The E.dentifier will only disappear once all customers have made the switch. This gives me some hope that this might also be possible in the rest of Europe... |
