I use always for online payments - super convenient. Recently started using it for self-checkouts at grocery shops - unfortunately much less convenient than card: i need to take out phone, confirm transaction, write my pin compared to pay with apple wallet with faceid its much slower. There is also blik contactless for android phones but it’s developed with mastercard.

Protip: if you have NFC payments on for cards on your smartphone you can ask for a card payment, open blik payment on the phone and it works lke the cards, without using the code. At least works with my bank.

Yes - it’s blik contactless which was developed with Mastercard - it’s sometimes visible on receipts. but perhaps wide adoption might motivate Blik to develop their own system without USians.

Damn. Ill have to research that. If its processed by Mastercard it would ruin my main reason to use blik in the first place...
