Berliners will soon have to pay fees and other payments to the administration via the payment system Wero. This was decided by the digital committee of the House of Representatives, according to a report by Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB).
Wero – a combination of We and Euro – is a digital payment service that allows money to be transferred by providing a mobile phone number or an email address. It is intended to be positioned against US payment services such as Paypal.
And that is exactly what we need in first place - a payment mechanism where both clients and servers can provide or use services. Then Wero, GNU Teller and others could just work without much fuss.
