    But why? If i want to exchange money for buying used stuft, i dont want to add them to my contacts first. But i think that every bank has its own App is far worse.

      In my banking-app you can type phone-numbers or e-mai-addresses without adding those to my contacts.

      Since Wero is directly linked to the banking account I absolutely don’t want to grant access to a third-part-app. Also I don’t want yet another banking-app.

      So every bank has its own app, but that app was preexisting and is only expanded by the wero-functionality. I guess behind the scenes there is some unified interface.

      I thought wero is just a way to transfer money to family and friends. I just learned that it’s a whole lot more, so letting anyone outside your contacts request and send payments makes sense. Although by now most registered phone numbers should appear in some breach/leak, which makes this kind of a stupid idea if I’m not mistaken. This also completely obliterates the need for syncing your contacts wtf lol.
