If your business is planning to expand into the Polish market, there is one aspect you cannot afford to overlook: <\/span>local payment methods<\/b><\/a>. Although cards remain a common option, consumers expect to pay using the payment solutions they use in their everyday lives. And in Poland, that means BLIK.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to its speed, ease of use and high level of consumer trust, BLIK has become one of the country’s most widely used payment systems. Failing to offer it can result in a poorer shopping experience and higher checkout abandonment compared with competitors that have adapted to local payment preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we’ll explain <\/span>what BLIK is, how it works<\/b>, its main advantages and why integrating it can help improve your conversion rate if you sell in Poland.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>What is BLIK?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Polish consumers’ favourite payment solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BLIK<\/span><\/a> is a mobile payment solution launched in 2015 by Polski Standard P\u0142atno\u015bci (PSP), a consortium established by Poland’s leading banks. It is currently available to around 95% of the country’s online banking users, making it one of the most widely used payment methods in Poland, with 18 million active users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike many other payment methods, BLIK does not require customers to enter their bank card details or create an additional account when making a purchase. <\/span>The entire process takes place within the user’s banking app<\/b>, where a one-time numeric code is generated to authorise the transaction in just a few seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, BLIK has evolved far beyond ecommerce. Today, it enables users to make online and in-store purchases, withdraw and deposit cash at ATMs, send money to other individuals (P2P) and set up recurring payments with supported banks and merchants.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is now one of the most widely used payment methods in Poland and an essential option for any business looking to sell in this market. Integrating it into your virtual <\/span>POS or online payment gateway<\/b> allows you to provide a payment experience tailored to the preferences of local consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>How do BLIK payments work?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the main reasons behind BLIK’s success is its simplicity and convenience. Here’s exactly how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n
