iDeal can also be used for recurring payment. I set one up yesterday.

If you like Tikkie, you may like bunq as well.

This is kind of a problem with Wero though [1]:

> The Wero app can be installed on any mobile device or tablet running iOS 16 or later, or Android version 9 or later. We recommend updating your device to the latest version of its operating system for maximum performance, convenience and security.

> It is not possible to use Wero via a web browser or on a computer.

Why the ** am I constricted to using an app on Android or iOS. Ever heard of laptops? Windows? ChromeOS? macOS? Linux in general?

banks really like hardware attestation and putting that in laptops and PCs causes serious pushback from people like us here. not an option to not have hardware attestation on mobile - it's been there since day 1, there's nothing to protest against anymore

Although at this point, doesn't Windows 11 require TPM, and Apple has had the Secure Enclave since the T2 Macs...

I wonder if it will work on OSes like SailfishOS, LineageOS, GrapheneOS, and the like.

I think for many banks, Wero will be implemented in the banks' apps (like iDEAL currently is). So then the situation is probably the same as now (where most, but not all banking apps work without Play remote attestation).
