Defrancq pioneers Wero invoice payments via POM
Antwerpen, 12 February 2026 — Defrancq is the first company in Belgium to enable customers to pay invoices via Wero, the new European payment solution and successor to Payconiq. To make this possible, Defrancq is working together with Belgian payment service provider POM. A key advantage compared to other payment methods is that Wero allows higher transaction amounts.
Until recently, the use of Wero in Belgium was limited to person-to-person payments. Thanks to recent developments, Wero is now also available for payments to businesses.
“At POM, we have spent the past months intensively preparing for the arrival of Wero. By getting everything technically and operationally ready in advance, we were able to bring the first merchant live as soon as the first banks were ready.”
At present, Wero payments to businesses are available for customers of ING and KBC. The other Belgian banks will follow later this year.
“At Defrancq, we embrace Wero as the logical next step in digital payments. Especially for higher invoice amounts, Wero offers clear added value thanks to higher payment limits and a smooth, secure payment experience. Being able to offer this today via POM fits perfectly with our vision of innovation and customer focus.”
“Wero is designed to make European payments simpler, stronger and more independent. Its expansion beyond person-to-person payments into business and invoice transactions represents a key step in scaling a trusted European payment solution that delivers tangible value to merchants and consumers across Europe.”
With this first go-live, POM once again confirms its pioneering role in the payment sector and, together with Defrancq, takes an important step towards the future of digital and European payments.
