iDEAL becomes Wero
One click. One change. Everything different.
One click. One change. Everything different. From early next year, the transition from iDEAL to Wero will begin. What does this mean for you? What will your customers notice? And how do we ensure your switch is smooth and secure?
What is Wero?
Wero is the new European payment system that makes paying easier – both online and in-store. Your customers pay directly from their bank account, hassle-free. Wero is already live in Belgium, Germany, and France. The Netherlands will follow soon.
The power of iDEAL – now for all of Europe
Wero is built on the foundation of iDEAL, backed by 16 major European banks – including the Dutch banks behind iDEAL. Your customers will recognise the ease of use and security of iDEAL, with an added benefit: a payment method that also works across borders. All with a single click in your checkout.
With Wero, you're ready for international growth. Sell more easily abroad and offer tourists a familiar way to pay.
Phase 1: iDEAL | Wero
(from Q1 2026)
What’s changing?
You’ll soon see a new logo: iDEAL | Wero. Otherwise, everything stays the same – your checkout will continue to work, your PSP remains unchanged, and there’s nothing you need to adjust. Meanwhile, we're building the new infrastructure behind the scenes and securely migrating transactions to Wero.
What does this mean for you?
- Your PSP will handle the updates and the new logo.
Everything will keep working as usual.
And for your customers?
- The same familiar payment experience via their bank.
- Wero will gradually become visible, while iDEAL remains recognisable.
Your iDEAL provider will keep you informed. You’ll receive all the necessary information in good time – including the new logo and how to use it.
By the end of 2027 at the latest, all iDEAL merchants will have transitioned to Wero. After that, the iDEAL brand will be phased out gradually.
With Wero, you avoid fragmentation, streamline your payment process, and offer a single European solution that grows with your ambitions.
Your customers benefit from a seamless payment experience – in the Netherlands and beyond – backed by the trust of a solution supported by Europe’s leading banks.
This isn’t just a new look. This is the future of payments.
Wero brings together everything that makes iDEAL strong, with European scale and innovation. For businesses and consumers alike, it’s a leap forward. Simpler. Smarter. More connected.
We’re going for it – together with you.
