BLIK code payments on Worldline Tap on Mobile

13 sierpnia 2024

Warsaw, 13 August 2024 – Worldline (Euronext: WLN), the global leader in payment services, in continued cooperation with BLIK, one of Poland’s most popular mobile payment systems, is rolling out for its clients the functionality of BLIK code payment on Worldline Tap on Mobile app. Under the partnership, businesses using Tap on Mobile on their mobile terminals will be able to accept payments with a BLIK code.

The launch of BLIK code payments on Tap on Mobile is another step in the development of the app, which offers its users ever more options. Until now, clients were only able to accept BLIK contactless payments on Tap on Mobile. Thanks to the option of BLIK code payments, the number of potential customers who will be able to pay using a BLIK code will go up to 16.3 million.

The Tap on Mobile app turns your Android device into a mobile payment terminal that allows acceptance of payments wherever you are. What’s more, a wide range of cashless payments – contactless BLIK, credit and debit cards, and mobile wallets – can be accepted with the app at no fixed costs and, most importantly, with no additional devices required.

Partnership with BLIK brings Worldline one more step closer toward creating a universal solution for mobile payments. Given the rising popularity of BLIK and the planned launch of this service in other European markets, the Tap on Mobile app with the functionality of accepting BLIK payments will be an ideal solution for businesses in other European countries, enabling users to make and accept payments regardless of their location.

Artur Żymańczyk, Country Manager at Worldline Poland, said: “Our Tap on Mobile app continues to develop, offering its users an ever wider range of payment options. We are pleased to add BLIK code payments to our flagship app, as this will enable us to reach an even larger group of users who would like to make use of quick, convenient and, above all, secure payment transactions that do not require a payment card.”

Adam Kokoszkiewicz, Sales Director at Polish Payment Standard, operator of BLIK, commented: „With more than 16.3 million active users, BLIK is one of the most popular mobile payment methods in Poland today and Worldline is the global leader in electronic payments with a strong footprint in Europe. The benefits from our partnership for users are undeniable: easier payments regardless of location. By joining forces, we will spur on the development of the mobile payment market and provide customers with even more convenience in their daily payment transactions.”
