Julian FarleyGUEST
But now it's almost fragmenting again with the creation of more s- instant payment rails, more account-to-account focus.
Julian FarleyGUEST
You look at what the EU want to do with data sovereignty and sovereignty over payments, of actually trying to reduce reliance of international payment schemes and put together the WERO solution and then integrating that with Blink and other nationals at payment schemes.
Julian FarleyGUEST
So, modernization continues, and really the focus needs to be to try and keep bringing things together.
Julian FarleyGUEST
Don't put up more silos.
Josh MoonHOST
Um, it's not as exciting as it seems for me, um, as they were hoping it would be, but it is an interesting development.
Josh MoonHOST
There is a, uh, European cash app called Wero.
Josh MoonHOST
I think it's, it's either Wero or Vero or something like that.
Josh MoonHOST
Probably Weero, but it's a stupid name.
Josh MoonHOST
Oh my god, look at that.
TessNARRATOR
The movement of banks towards a more active stance on stablecoins will, of course, be driven in part by corporate appetite for their use.
TessNARRATOR
In Europe, the rollout of the Wero digital wallet, promoted by the bank consortium-led European Payments Initiative, is enabling users to receive money and pay direct from their bank account twenty-four seven and in almost real time.
TessNARRATOR
It may mark a significant change in expectations for users.
TessNARRATOR
In the Netherlands, for example, Bakker explains that Vero will officially absorb the transactions and brand of the domestic online payment system, iDEAL.
TessNARRATOR
The transition into Vero over the coming months enables iDEAL users to make cross-border online payments with much the same ease as they have done domestically.
TessNARRATOR
It is noteworthy that the Dutch central bank has now assumed oversight of iDEAL and Wero.
TessNARRATOR
The transition of the former into the latter is aimed at creating a unified, future-proof European payment system.
TessNARRATOR
In doing so, it raises considerable user expectations around payment system convenience and reach.
Oliver SmithGUEST
So this is looking at the future of European payments.
Oliver SmithGUEST
Again, touching on sovereignty, the question around WERO, EPI, whether Europe needs to build its own payments infrastructure.
Oliver SmithGUEST
But also I think there are so many payment options these days, and I think it's quite overwhelming, and people within the industry find it quite overwhelming how many payment rails there are, how many options there are, and the complexity that comes with that.
Oliver SmithGUEST
So that's our fourth pillar, New Rails, New Rules.
speaker_1HOST
He says housing spending isn't enough and that households pay more tax than businesses.
speaker_1HOST
The police have issued a warning regarding a surge in phishing scams that exploit the ongoing transition from Payconiq to the Wero payment application.
speaker_1HOST

speaker_1HOST
In international news, pupils unions in France have called for more school blockades today and for further marches in Paris and other cities tomorrow, unless the government releases money to improve conditions in schools.

There is also an appeal for witnesses following a hit-and-run collision on the Rue de Dalaim in Hassel that left a cyclist injured.
Antoine GrimaudGUEST
Second one is, uh, we get access to, uh, uh, to the ecosystem, to the regulators, to, uh, this, uh, all those, those people through the BPCE, uh, business unit.
Antoine GrimaudGUEST
And, uh, for instance, we had the ability to be the first to launch, uh, Wero in France, and that, uh, was held by BPCE.
Antoine GrimaudGUEST
And tomorrow, uh, we will most likely be the first to do a pilot about digital euro.
Antoine GrimaudGUEST
And so that's something also that we benefit from, uh, this BPCE, uh, setup, uh- Then we got access to the distribution network of the bank.

Dwayne GefferieHOST
Um, I think another topic that currently has been on everybody's mind is, of course, payment sovereignty, right? And I think you already mentioned, especially in France, having Carte Bancaire, but also just the mindset of being able to operate and provide solutions within the French market.
Dwayne GefferieHOST
So I wanna talk a little bit about sovereignty within Europe.
Dwayne GefferieHOST
Um, so European payment sovereignty is moving away from talk to actually building an infrastructure with Wero, of course, rolling out, uh, for online payments across France this year and account-to-account rails are starting to mature.
Dwayne GefferieHOST
How central is that to your strategy that you have?
Ruth WandhöferGUEST
And as you know, for [chuckles] I guess decades, we've been talking about digital identity and how do we go about digital identity to allow individuals to participate in the digital financial ecosystem and more broadly.
Ruth WandhöferGUEST
If you look at SEPA and the Wero Wallet in Europe, it's all designed with the human in mind.
Ruth WandhöferGUEST
And of course, the AI agentic piece is now starting to, to race ahead, and certain foundations haven't really been built, uh, to do that yet in a coherent and secure way.
Ruth WandhöferGUEST
So I would argue that right now we're looking at how much can be done.
John BakerCORRESPONDENT
The young Luxembourger took the case to court after he was denied entrance on the basis of being a foreign student residing abroad.
John BakerCORRESPONDENT
A phishing scam is already targeting users of Wero following the switch from Payconic in Luxembourg.
John BakerCORRESPONDENT
Fraudsters are sending emails claiming that users need to renew a security certificate with a link requesting personal information.
John BakerCORRESPONDENT
The emails appear to come from Wero, but one identified message was sent from a South African address.
John BakerCORRESPONDENT
Wero users are advised not to open the link or provide any details.
John BakerCORRESPONDENT
According to the latest athome.lu figures, in the third quarter of this year, prices for existing flats and houses held relatively steady with a slight upward tilt.
