    From what I’ve read, it appears that it’s simply one time, transactions.

    Surely, they couldn’t be that short sighted. This means no “saving for payment information” on your favorite online store.

    Also, it seems this is heavily tied to your bank account, which kind of makes me a bit nervous. I like fintech solutions and being able to create “one time use debit cards” or debit cards with a maximum balance and at the moment, I don’t understand how wero will fill this gap.

    … but I really hope I’m wrong or some fintech will “step up” and make wero a legitimate replacement for visa/master card.

      your favorite online store.

      I know it’s cliché to call anonymous commenters shills, but that sentence has major shill energy. Who says “your favourite online store”, honestly.

      This means no “saving for payment information” on your favorite online store.

      Nothing stops them from saving your public token or number or whatever they’ll come up with, or even using the current Wero system. My favourite online store can save like twenty different payment system credentials, what’s another one.

      it seems this is heavily tied to your bank account

      No more than visa and mastercard currently. You need a bank to create you your one time debit card. With payment system one time debit card is not needed, because your public facing token isn’t enough to make a transaction, so there is no problem here. Which also makes it trivial to implement multiple “wallets” inside the account, or multiple public tokens with different “wallets” associated with it.

      As long as they provide the payment network, the banks and merchants are free to make the rest of the customer facing functionality.
