🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays

In today’s digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid. The European Payments Initiative (EPI) is here to change all that, forever.

With Wero, our digital wallet, we make sending and receiving money simple, seamless and secure across France, Belgium and Germany, with more countries and omnichannel solutions coming soon. Supported by 14 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, EPI is building a new, proudly European payment system: easy, instant and transparent, all for the greater good.

🔎 What's in it for you

As the Head of Product - Consumer Apps, you will have the unique opportunity to lead and shape the future of our innovative consumer applications, including our flagship Wero digital wallet, and future value added services.
Together, we’re not just building yet another payment solution; we’re creating a stronger European payment ecosystem for consumers across all of Europe.
