Interpretability is great but I wonder if these national systems that don't intended to simply merge into Wero will have use some branding that makes it obvious that they are compatible..

Wasnโ€™t BLIK established before Wero? Why merge BLIK into Wero and not the other way around? :)

Two comments from same instance kissing ass about BLIK with similar wording? Y'all getting tagged as bots.

Isn't this how it going to get sorted....? all the national solutions just federate through an EU wide interoperability hub.... I could see everybody getting on board for something like this
