Worldline has processed its first Wero online payment in Belgium, making the country the second in Europe, after Germany, to enable eCommerce transactions with the system. The Belgian Red Cross-Flanders (Rode Kruis-Vlaanderen) completed the first Wero online transaction following Wero’s recent eCommerce launch in Belgium. Joachim Goyvaerts, CEO of Worldline Belgium, was the first to use Wero for an online donation to the Belgian Red Cross-Flanders. Several retailers have indicated plans to offer Wero as a payment option on their platforms. Joachim Goyvaerts “Our priority is to make new payment methods easy to activate and reliable at scale. With Wero for e-commerce, Worldline strengthens its digital payments proposition and enables merchants to offer European shoppers a seamless checkout experience... We’re proud to have enabled the first Belgian Wero online payment for the Red Cross,” said Goyvaerts. The announcement follows the European Payments Initiative’s press conference earlier on the launch of Wero for e-commerce in Belgium.
