Pay by Bank: The Cheaper Alternative to iDEAL and Wero
IO+
"The Netherlands is switching from iDEAL to Wero, the new European payment standard. The transition is taking place in phases. The technical migration starts in 2026, followed by the full rollout in 2027. iDEAL will be switched off on December 31, 2027. Businesses are concerned about the costs. Whereas iDEAL fees were typically around €0.19 to €0.20 per transaction, Wero fees range from €0.17 to €0.32. In addition, Wero urges users to link a phone number or email address to their account. This raises privacy concerns."
