From early 2026, the migration from iDEAL to Wero, a new European payment solution developed by the European Payments Initiative (EPI), will commence. Wero will gradually replace iDEAL and will offer additional functionalities such as recurring payments and cash on delivery, within the familiar banking infrastructure.
BNG will inform its customers in good time about the switch to Wero. Does your organisation have an iDEAL connection or are you a Service Provider? If so, we ask you to replace the iDEAL logo with the new co-branded iDEAL | Wero logo and to change the name of iDEAL to iDEAL | Wero between 31 January and 31 March 2026. This logo is available via the BNG Merchant Service Portal.
In addition, it is important that your organisation is ready to process Wero transactions by 31 March 2026 at the latest. Among other things, these transactions have a different Transaction ID than iDEAL, which may impact your reconciliation processes. More technical details can be found in the Implementation Guide version 1.8, also available via the BNG Merchant Service Portal.
BNG advises you to incorporate these changes into your planning in good time and will keep you informed about the progress of the migration to Wero. Consumers will be informed about the migration from iDEAL to Wero by their own bank.
If you have any questions, please contact your regular contact person at BNG.
