Wero lets users send money using just a phone number — no IBAN, no card, no intermediary.
Which is good, but we also need a card.
I doubt we can ensure
- everyone has a smartphone
- the smartphone has an up to date OS with security patches
- has an app installed
- knows how to use that all
- is willing to use it all
As long as the solution is purely based on apps, large parts of the population will lose access as soon as payments via the US are no longer an option.
EDIT: Just imagine national card systems were part of Wero… And you could just use your WeroCard across Europe and buy stuff without leaving traces in the US.
Add to that - assuming cell phone coverage at the time of purchase.
and battery
Also not to forget that right now, everything that depends on an app requires the blessing of google or apple.
