The most popular way to transfer money between friends in Poland is a BLIK-to-phone-number transfer. Those transfers are done from the banking app. I don’t need to know someone’s account number, I just need their phone number. BLIK transfers are instant, unlike regular bank transfers, which may take up to 1 business day (specifically, they are done via batch processing 3 times in a business day), and they are always free, unlike instant bank transfers (though that depends on your bank/account type).


BLIK payments are just an interface on top of regular bank payments.


They are an interface on top of Express Elixir, not Elixir.


Both are an option for regular transfers.

What I meant is that in BLIK, phone number gets resolved to a bank account number and a regular (express) transfer gets made, which can be seen in your account history.
