Yeah… It’s a bit opaque, I’m not so sure anymore either.

https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDEAL

The Dutch Wikipedia page says that iDeal was bought by EPI in 2023. They then launched Wero in 2024, and eventually iDeal will be renamed to Wero (Note it says renamed and not replaced)

Maybe they rebranded it? Maybe they reused the technology? I’m not quite sure if and what the relation is.

Edit: This blog post from 2023 claims that EPI said iDeal will be used as the foundation for their (then future) payment platform Wero
