The innovative digital payment wallet developed by EPI, Wero, will enable Revolut customers—initially in France, Belgium, and Germany — to send and request money to their friends and family starting July 2025.
EPI Company, the European player committed to offering a sovereign payment alternative to all consumers in the region, today announces the signature of a membership agreement by Revolut, the global fintech and licensed European bank. This move marks a key milestone for both European-committed players to enable consumers with access to a localised, simple and convenient payment method.
Through its integration of Wero, Revolut will provide its customers in France, Belgium and Germany with an additional local payment solution, offering high security standards and ease of use.
Wero, EPI’s mobile-first wallet and instant account-to-account payment solution, is transforming how Europeans pay. Available since Summer 2024 to consumers for person-to-person transactions in Belgium, France and Germany, Wero has already convinced over 40 million registered users since its launch. With the ambition to become Europe’s main payment solution, Wero is planning to expand its features to e-commerce payments in the second half of 2025, followed by in-store payments, subscription management, and loyalty services from 2026 onward.
As part of this membership, Revolut’s customers, initially in France, Belgium, and Germany, will have access to Wero’s core features directly within their Revolut app. This includes instant, free-of-charge money transfers between Wero users made possible through Wero’s secure and frictionless technology.
Bringing Wero’s payment wallet to Revolut’s millions of customers across these three markets will allow both companies to deliver a compelling and increasingly local payment offering for more Europeans. Looking ahead, Revolut will integrate additional use cases, supported by Wero, to continue delivering enhanced value to customers in Europe.
„This partnership with EPI underscores our dedication to providing greater value for our European customers who want payments to be simple and integrated with their day-to-day banking, so they can pay like a local, wherever they are. Facilitating seamless access to free and instant payments is no longer a nice to have, it’s a must. By enabling Wero within the Revolut app, alongside our other local peer-to-peer payment partners, we’re empowering our customers to make instant and secure payments seamlessly within European borders, in the most suitable way for them.” – said David Tirado VP of Global Business at Revolut.
„We are very delighted to welcome Revolut as a member of the European Payments Initiative. Revolut’s extensive footprint and their commitment to innovation make them a valuable partner in our shared mission: to offer a secure, easy, pan-European solution and to expand payment sovereignty and freedom of choice to all Europeans. It’s a new chapter in how payments are experienced in this continent.” – said Martina Weimert CEO of the EPI Company.

EPI (or European Payments Initiative) is supported by 16 European banks and payment service providers. They have joined forces with a common goal: to offer a unified mobile payment service, to all European companies and citizens, Wero. EPI intends to enable European consumers and to carry out all types of retail transactions simply, via a resolutely sovereign digital wallet.
Based on instant account-to-account (A2A) payments, Wero further streamlines payments in Europe by eliminating intermediaries in the payment chain and the associated additional costs. Wero already supports payments between individuals, and will shortly unveil payments to professionals (P2Pro) and those for online and mobile purchases. Point-of-sale payments will also be offered, as well as value-added services such as merchant loyalty programs and recurring subscription management.
