Discussion Digicash … Payconiq … Wero

Upvotes

It’s already been a rumor for a few months but it seems to be materializing slowly and surely.

Do you have any idea about the roadmap when Payconiq will be replaced with Wero ?

France, Belgium, Germany and maybe other countries are already in this new ecosystem EPI - Wero.

Apparently EPI (European Payments Initiative) bought Payconiq.

Is this an public officil european body/ initiative or just a mischievous company name to confuse people ?

Is this Wero still based on the phone number ?

Activities Music community Hesperange

2 Upvotes

I live in Hesperange and I play guitar, not as much as I would like but still, it was always a hobby that I like to practice.

I want to integrate with the music local community maybe create some musics. But primarily go back to that part of my life that I like that much.

No need to be on Hesperange though, I just want to integrate and grow musically speaking.

Any tips regarding this?

Ask Luxembourg Which authority in Luxembourg can issue request letter for overseas criminal record?

Upvotes

I’m now preparing for the Luxembourgish nationality process. To get a criminal record from my country of origin, I need to show an official request letter from an authority here in Luxembourg before they’ll issue it.

Has anyone been in the same situation? Which authority did you go through to get that letter?

We bought a house with fuel heating and just received a letter saying they will connect gas to our street. Do you think it’s worth making the switch?

Ask Luxembourg Private health insurance

Upvotes

Hello, I’m seeking your feedback and experiences regarding health insurance supplements for Luxembourg residents. I’m affiliated with the CNS only. As I’m expecting to undergo several hospitalizations and treatments during my pregnancy (I’ve been pregnant for several months now), I’m wondering which insurance providers offer coverage that takes effect immediately? (This doesn’t seem to be the case with Foyer, whom I’ve already contacted.) I would really appreciate your opinions and advice. Thank you all very much!

Ask Luxembourg How comfortable are native Luxembourgish speakers speaking German?

11 Upvotes

I understand they don't like French very much, have an accent when they speak French, and are taught in French at school when they're older.
But with German, it's very similar to Luxembourgish and it's the langage (Reddit won't let me spell it correctly) of instruction when they start school, at a time where the mind is more easily able to pick up foreign languages.
With these comibned, does this mean German is like a second mother tongue for the natives?

Ask Luxembourg How long is too long to wait for a package to go through customs?

3 Upvotes

I made an order from a US site mid July and the package was shipped the following week. It came through the Netherlands first then Lux customs. The problem is that it has been at Lux customs for the past month. The commercial invoice was sent about 3weeks ago but Post says that they have not heard anything since. Is this normal? I have never had to wait this long when making an order outside of the EU even after an invoice/receipt has been requested.

Also, the shipping char.ges included all ta.xes and duties.

Ask Luxembourg Startups in Lux

10 Upvotes

I’m curious about the startup scene in Luxembourg and hoping some of you can share what it’s really like.

  • Are people there actually ambitious about starting companies, or is it more of a niche thing?
  • How tough is it to get a startup off the ground?
  • Are there many founders around — do they help each other out, have meetups, that kind of thing?
  • Any cool recent success stories?
  • What kind of support is out there (govt schemes, VCs, accelerators)?
  • And which sectors are buzzing the most right now?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s in the know!

I just saw someone putting their parking ticket to the windshield of the car behind theirs. The car behind was also violating the parking rule so if they don’t verify the plate in the ticket, they will just pay the other persons fine.

Moving/Relocation Dilemma between living in Esch or Luxembourg city

12 Upvotes

Starting this month, I'm working in Luxembourg (internship), Like 10 min from esch sur alzette main station.
I don't have a car so, I will be relying only on public transport.

My two choices are:

  • Living in Esch closer to work but less opportunities to meet people and further from luxembourg-ville that seems to be a lot more lively (important for me)
  • Living in Luxembourg-ville like 1h10 of transit every day for work but better external life

I'm 23 and staying for 6 months so I don't want to stay here only working and a boring external life.

Thank your for reading

Open to hear all of your ideas/views.

Would anyone know why the mortg@ge rates keep going up for the past months? Which financials metics do they track? ECB rates, German bonds? I have read conflicting opinions and I am trying to understand this market! Rates increase , prices to buy also increase as well. Definitely not a buyer's market at the moment.

Ist es nützlich, Einen Deutschen Kurs in Luxembourg zu machen?

Ich weiß nicht, Ob ich einen Deutschen, Französischen, oder luxemburgischen Kurs schaffen soll, Falls ich nach Luxemburg umziehe. soweit ich weiß, alle sprachen werden in Luxemburg gesprochen, und deswegen, Man kann jede sprache wählen, die man lernen möchte, Sondern, wenn ich damals nach Lux gefahren bin, Überall hat Geschienen, auf französisch zu sein.

Daher, Welche Sprache denkt ihr nützlicher ist, anzufangen, falls ich dort umziehe. Deutsch, Französisch, oder luxemburgisch.

P.S Ich habe bereits mein Deutsch zu einem B1-niveau genommen, deswegen, wäre es nicht einen „Deutsch als Anfänger“ Kurs sein.

Wenn es Fehler gibt, Tut mir leid, Ich will so weit wie möglich deutsch schreiben.

Vielen Dank!
