It is quite well accepted, as in:
- the biggest Polish banks (whose initiative this was) support it, and the ATMs (Euronet included) usually have that as an option.
- ALL of the Polish payment providers / gateways support BLIK.
- Poland is quite infamous for supporting contactless payments [0] and most of the POS terminals support BLIK as well.
- For merchants it also makes sense as there are no chargebacks.
I do concede that for BLIK vs. contactless payments in the brick & mortar shop the latter always would win for quick payments, but why does it seem high friction to you?
