The Problem

European merchants face an unprecedented convergence of payment system changes. Wero is replacing national payment schemes (iDEAL, Giropay, Paylib) across 6+ countries in 2026-2027. The digital euro legislation is expected in 2026, with pilot transactions starting 2027. PSD3/PSR brings mandatory Verification of Payee, stronger SCA requirements, and open finance rules. No single tool helps merchants understand what's changing, when, what they need to do, and whether their payment stack is ready.

Most SMBs don't have payment specialists. They rely on their PSP or e-commerce platform, but those parties have their own migration timelines and don't provide proactive readiness guidance. The result: merchants discover they're non-compliant or missing revenue when deadlines hit.
