Is there any way to use wero without handing out my mobile phone number to everyone? I'd prefer handing over IBAN or some alias over phone number.

We already have Interac, a good homegrown solution. I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard for banks to piggyback on it to make credit transactions rather than debit.

I read that there also are lots of concerns regarding privacy of data. It apparently collects lots of your data and interactions and shares it with third parties for publicity and so. And they're not transparent at all on this point.

Anyway, I don't know how much is rumour, how much is true. Does anybody have more information?
