As a replacement, the new European payment system called Wero was launched on July 2, 2024. Supported by 31 major banks in the eurozone, Wero offers real-time P2P and C2B payments. It is available in Germany, Belgium, and France, with plans to expand to more European countries.
Businesses that previously offered Giropay should update their payment systems to include alternative methods such as PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or SEPA transfers to continue processing payments.
