Hectronic, a provider of payment solutions for charging, parking and refuelling, has added Wero as a new payment option to its product portfolio. According to the company, this makes it one of the first terminal manufacturers to integrate the European payment method into mobility infrastructure.
Hectronic announced live operation at its charging stations and parking meters at the end of April 2026; integrating Wero at fuel stations is planned as the next step. Paying with Wero works like this: the Hectronic hardware generates a dynamic QR code on its display, which users scan with a banking or Wero app before confirming the payment directly in the app. The amount is then debited from the user’s bank account in real time, Hectronic says. Because the QR code appears on a display and is generated individually for each payment, “quishing” – fraud using QR codes that have been pasted over or manipulated – is practically ruled out, unlike with static codes.
“A new level”
Fabian Mansfeld, Chief Acceptance Strategy Officer at the European Payments Initiative (EPI) / Wero, says: “Hectronic’s integration of Wero as a payment method shows that, after the first P2P and e-commerce launches, our solution has reached a new level: real-time payments within mobility infrastructure make clear that Wero is an omnichannel solution that can be used online and now also at the point of sale. This is exactly the kind of innovation we want to drive forward together with our partners. We are delighted to have Hectronic at our side as a strong technology partner that firmly anchors European payment methods in everyday life.”
What is Wero?
Wero is a new payment solution from the European Payments Initiative (EPI). It is designed to enable fast and secure real-time payments based on SEPA, without going through third-party providers such as PayPal or credit card companies.
Sven Stottmeier, Director E-Mobility at Hectronic, adds: “Integrating Wero is a logical step for us to offer our customers state-of-the-art and, above all, independent European payment methods. As one of the pioneers in the mobility sector, we are setting an example for digital sovereignty. While users benefit from seamless processing directly via their bank account, the solution is also highly attractive for operators thanks to its cost structure. Real-time payments make payment processing more efficient, and dynamic QR codes make it as secure as possible – whether for parking, charging or refuelling.”
