Wero doesn't support contactless because it's a different use case. Contactless is only for in-person payments. Wero is for internet payments. QR codes can be used for either, but I mostly see them in internet payments. When I buy something on Steam, I can get a QR code for my iDeal payment through my phone app. I'd expect Wero to support that too. And that means you can use it for in-person payment if the seller has or can produce a QR code, but that's not the primary use case for Wero, because we already have contactless.

Although contactless through banking app go through Google Wallet these days, which I hate, so I would prefer if there was a European alternative for that. Could be part of Wero, but it doesn't have to be. As long as it's not part of Google.
