With out oft world reasons you have to use their banking app and have to put in your mobile number and HAVE TO SYNC YOUR CONTACTS. At that point i cancled that shit.

I know nothing about WERO, but I guess they would want to at least limit payment requests to your contacts.

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.

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.
