Against a backdrop of global economic and geopolitical instability, in which issues of economic, technological, and financial sovereignty have never been more critical for Europe, CB reaffirms its commitment to payment sovereignty in France and across Europe.
In this regard, the development of Wero, just like that of the CB network, contributes to this shared momentum. These two solutions, are supported and driven by the French interbank community. They are based on European infrastructure and are poised to play a complementary role in the payments ecosystem, both nationally and across Europe. CB and Wero have a shared goal to develop inclusive, innovative, high-performance, and sovereign payment systems.
CB, in partnership with Wero, is strengthening France’s autonomy in card and digital payments. Wero also aims to strengthen payment autonomy in other European countries.
Finally, both CB and Wero are fully aligned with the priorities set forth in the National Payment Methods Strategy 2030 (recently published by the CNMP), a strategy that reaffirms, in particular, the importance of co-badging for cards.
