No it's not.
Wero is another name for iDEAL, it has been pushed by Dutch, but it is an engineering fiasco.
There is no way Poland would adopt it. Blik is just on another level price- and feature-wise.

I am unfamiliar with Wero. Can you explain why it is an engineering fiasco?
Side note: Looking at their job listings I don't see any engineering positions (with the exception of a security engineer which is a grey area in a bank IMO), only managers and business roles.
I see one engineering job ad https://careers.epicompany.eu/jobs/6909459-senior-full-stack... if we can call EU Digital Wallet speculation "engineering".
But you just answered your own question.
Wero is a money extraction business that secured European Commission support. There is no engineering nor payment system to it.
what ever "money extraction business" means - wero is a real thing people (me included) are already using and developed jointly by many european banks.

The big European countries adopt it, so if Poland will adopt it or not won't matter in the short term, in the long term merchants will accept it as they do it with Alipay and other more obscure stuff
I recently heard of Wero and it seemed promising. What makes Blik so much better in your opinion?
