ASN Bank Blocks Wero Payments on GrapheneOS and Other De-Googled Phones

ASN Bank customers who use GrapheneOS or another Android system without Google’s certification can no longer pay with Wero in the bank’s app.

Users began reporting the block on GitHub in late October, a few days after an app update. This week, ASN’s support told customers that GrapheneOS is not supported for Wero, and Wero’s operator replied that it focuses on “the most widely used mobile banking platforms and devices”. ASN Bank is the Dutch bank, owned by the state since its 2013 nationalisation, that has absorbed the SNS and RegioBank brands, so former customers of those banks are affected too.

We found no public statement from ASN Bank or from the European Payments Initiative (EPI), the company behind Wero. The replies quoted below are ones that customers published.
