The collaboration among a growing number of payment solutions in Europe has received BLIK’s candidacy. The aim would be to add BLIK's Polish and Slovak users to the coalition.
In the first quarter of 2026, BLIK users completed a total of 756 million transactions, representing a 14% increase compared to the same period last year. From January to March this year, the highest growth was recorded in the e-commerce channel, where nearly 380 million payments were made. The results achieved in online commerce are increasingly driven by new BLIK services such as recurring payments and deferred payments. As of the end of March, the solution was used by 21.1 million active users.
BLIK, a Polish mobile payment system developed by Polish Payment Standard, is expanding its presence in the eurozone. Following the launch of BLIK payments in Slovakia in 2024, customers of Polish banks are now gaining access to thousands of e-commerce stores operating in that country. Pilot transactions carried out in March confirmed the readiness of the solution, and the friends & family testing phase begins in early April. This marks an important step in building BLIK payments in Europe – based on interoperability between markets and system participants. The next stage, planned for the end of 2026, will extend the solution to users of Slovak banks shopping in Polish e-commerce. Ultimately, all banks in the eurozone that implement BLIK will gain access to the network of e-commerce merchants operating in Poland.
In 2025, BLIK users completed a total of 2.9 bn transactions worth PLN 441.5 bn (EUR 104.9 bn). The fourth quarter was a key contributor to the annual result, generating approximately 27% of the total yearly volume. In terms of the number of operations, e-commerce remains the strongest channel, traditionally recording the highest sales peaks at the end of the year. The growing popularity of all services has resulted in a cumulative total of 10 bn transactions worth PLN 1.4 tn (EUR 332.5 bn) since the system’s launch. BLIK has also continued to expand its active customer base – over the past 12 months, more than 2 m new users joined the system, bringing the number of active accounts to 20.7 m at the end of December.
The first pilot euro transfer from the Spanish payment system Bizum to a phone number enabled for receiving BLIK transfers at PKO Bank Polski has just been completed. This marks another step toward full interoperability between national mobile payment systems.
Viva.com, the first Tech Bank in Europe for businesses, has rolled out support for BLIK 6-digit code payments on its Tap on Any Device technology, enabling Polish merchants to accept, and software partners to embed one of the country’s most popular payment methods through a fully software-based checkout experience. The rollout delivers a future-proof, locally relevant solution that seamlessly connects in-store and online commerce, enabling scale across sectors and European markets.
