Unzer, a payment platform catering to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany, Austria, and other regions, has joined forces with the European Payments Initiative (EPI).

Supporting Wero’s Launch

As part of their collaboration, Unzer is set to support the introduction of Wero, a mobile wallet designed for person-to-person (P2P) payments in Europe. This innovative payment method aims to provide users with a secure and sovereign way to pay and shop within the continent.

Wero: Connecting Payments Across Europe

Launched last summer, Wero is currently available for P2P transactions in Germany, France, and Belgium. The EPI and Unzer plan to expand this service to support e-commerce, mobile commerce, and point-of-sale (POS) transactions by the end of 2025.

Unzing into European Commerce

By integrating Wero through its embedded platform, UnzerOne, merchants will be able to accept payments from users without needing complex technology. This move reflects Unzer’s commitment to simplifying commerce and accelerating digital adoption for SMEs by providing a payment method that is both local and secure.

Unzer’s Additional Initiatives

In February 2025, the company also introduced a direct bank transfer solution in collaboration with Mastercard. This initiative allowed users to make payments directly from their bank accounts without needing credit or debit cards, initially rolled out across all SEPA countries.

Unzer’s integration of these payment solutions underscores its vision to build trust and loyalty among customers through personalized checkout experiences, thereby reducing cart abandonment rates.
