FAQ



TRANSITION

  • What is Wero?

    Wero is a new European digital payment solution designed to be simple and convenient. It enables users to send money instantly and make payments, both online and in-store, directly from their bank account.

    It is already available in Belgium, Germany and France, and will be launched in the Netherlands and Luxembourg in 2026, with additional countries to follow shortly.

  • Why is the Payconiq app being replaced by Wero?

    Wero transforms Payconiq from a national payment solution into a broader European payment solution, offering exciting new features, including the ability to make payments across different countries to other Wero users.

    It is supported by major European banks and financial institutions, with the aim of providing secure and easy payments throughout Europe.

  • When will the Wero app be available?

    Since 7 September, Wero has been available on all official app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play Store).

    We invite you to download the Wero app now and link it to your BIL account:

  • What does the launch of Wero mean for me, and what do I need to do?

    In September, Payconiq payments and services will be gradually transferred to Wero. You can then start using the Wero app and manage all your payments within the app, just as you previously did with Payconiq.

    We invite you to download Wero now and link it to your BIL account:

  • Can I continue using Payconiq following the launch of Wero?

    You can continue using Payconiq as usual until its permanent discontinuation on 30 September 2026. The Payconiq app will remain available throughout the transition period to Wero.

    From 22 September, you will no longer be able to download the Payconiq app or add a bank account to Payconiq.

    The transition will be fully completed by 30 September 2026, when the Payconiq app and brand will no longer be in use.

    To continue making your usual payments without interruption, we recommend downloading the Wero app now and linking it to your BIL account.



SECURITY

  • Is the Wero app as secure as Payconiq?

    Yes. You will continue to benefit from the same ease of use and high level of security you are accustomed to with Payconiq. Wero offers a high level of security and complies with European standards for security, regulatory compliance and data protection

  • How are my transaction history and data protected with Wero?

    Wero is committed to protecting your personal and financial information. Wero has been designed to meet the high security standards of the banking sector and European authorities, ensuring the highest level of security for your information and payments. Wero works closely with BIL to protect your data at every stage.

    The Wero app is secured using the authentication methods built into your phone (PIN code, fingerprint or facial recognition), meaning that only you can access your Wero account from your device. For the highest level of protection, we recommend enabling biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition), if supported by your phone, and always keeping both your Wero app and BILnet app updated to the latest version.

  • How does the Wero app protect me against fraud?

    The Wero app is designed to be both secure and easy to use. It complies with banking security standards, and every transaction must be confirmed using your password or, more commonly, your phone's biometric security features.

    Receiving a payment through Wero does not require any action on your part. Funds are automatically credited to your account. Stay vigilant: Wero will never ask you to click on a link or provide your security credentials or banking details in order to receive a payment.

    However, it is always advisable to remain cautious when shopping or banking online. We therefore invite you to consult Wero's 10 Golden Rules to protect your money.
