Blik payment – what is it?
Blik is a mobile payment system in short. It allows, among other things, to make payments in stationary stores and online using six-digit codes. To do this, launch the bank application on your phone, display the code, enter it at the terminal or website during the transaction, and then confirm the payment with the PIN in the bank application. The generated Blik code is valid for a maximum of two minutes.
Blik payments can be made online – for example, in online stores. You can also pay at the cash desk in stationary stores or ticket machines. You can also deposit and withdraw money with Blik – using ATMs and cash machines. Blik also allows interbank transfers to the phone – instead of entering the 26-digit account number, only the recipient's phone number is entered.
