Due to the pandemic, the global economy has been shaken. Digital goods and services have started driving a significant portion of businesses, and sales figures have skyrocketed.

Marta Nowak, business development specialist at Polish Payment Standard, the operator of BLIK Over the past decade, Poles have certainly increased their confidence in online shopping. According to a recent report published by the Chamber of Electronic Economy, the percentage of Internet users shopping online has almost doubled, rising from 45 per cent to an astounding 87 per cent. The e-commerce market in Poland, despite the macroeconomic turbulence, continues to grow, and customers are increasingly satisfied with the opportunities offered to them in the online sphere. The last decade has also seen an increased interest in cashless payment methods - such as BLIK. We use it not only to settle purchases on popular sales platforms but also to settle our accounts and to donate to and support charities. BLIK's transaction data accurately reflects the observed change in consumer shopping behaviour.

According to ECC Koln, an e-commerce consulting company, as much as 75% of e-consumers consider the payment process to be critical. Retailers providing popular payment methods, care about the consumer experience, increase conversion, and thus multiply profits.
BLIK follows all the trends highlighted by the European Payments Initiative: mobility, immediacy, and e-commerce first approach. It plays an essential role in the context of all these components. Therefore, we picture BLIK as a European payment system in a span of just two or three years, stresses DARIUSZ MAZURKIEWICZ, President of the Management Board of the Polish Payment Standard – BLIK System operator, in an interview with Jan Bolanowski and Paweł Minkina for Miesięcznik Finansowy BANK.
