January 26th, 2026 – finby, a European payment service provider and acquirer, announced that it has signed a partnership with the European Payments Initiative (EPI) to support Wero, EPI’s pan-European digital wallet.

Wero is designed to enable fast, secure, and seamless account-to-account payments across Europe and is already trusted by more than 48 million users. The partnership marks an important milestone for finby as it prepares to support the next generation of unified European payment experiences.

While Wero is not yet live as a payment method, finby’s participation reflects its long-term commitment to innovation, interoperability, and the development of future-ready payment solutions for the European market.

“Our partnership with EPI and Wero is a natural step in finby’s journey,” said David Rintel, CEO of finby. “Europe needs strong, unified payment solutions built with local relevance at their core. By partnering early, we are positioning finby to support this vision and be ready when Wero becomes available for merchants and consumers.”

“This collaboration with finby, a leading European acquirer, represents an important milestone for EPI and for Wero, as it will significantly accelerate Wero’s expansion across Europe and strengthen its adoption by merchants. Thanks to this partnership, we are taking another concrete step toward building a truly European payment solution, widely accessible and competitive.” Martina Weimert, CEO, EPI Company

Developed by the European Payments Initiative, Wero aims to create a common digital payment solution across Europe, reducing fragmentation and strengthening European payment sovereignty. By working with EPI, finby reinforces its role as a payments partner focused on scalable, local-first, and future-oriented technologies.

Further details about finby’s support for Wero will be shared as the solution progresses towards launch.
