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