Key Highlights

• Global Payments is the leading acquirer in the Polish merchant acquiring market. In August 2022, Global Payments announced acquisition of EVO Payments; a transaction that was completed in March 2023. The company provides a diverse selection of POS terminals, including mobile POS systems. Furthermore, it offers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) services which allows merchants to accept payments from international card holders in over 36 different currencies.
• The Polish mobile wallet landscape is led by BLIK; a homegrown solution integrated into over 20 major banks in the country. It allows users to make both in-store and online payments. In Q1 2025, BLIK users completed a total of 665 million transactions (including ecommerce, POS, ATM, and P2P)-up from 28% in comparison to the previous year. As of December 2024, BLIK has nearly 18.5 million users in Poland. ?To capitalize on this, BLIK introduced the deferred payment option BLIK Pay Later, initially available for Millennium and Velo Bank customers. However, in June and July 2025, this service was expanded to Alior Bank and Bank Polski bank customers. As of June 2025, the pay later service is available at over 20,000 online stores.?
• Poland is among the advanced contactless payment markets in the world, with the majority of consumers embracing this payment method. In June 2025, the Polish fintech company Autopay introduced HandGo, a palm-authentication shopping solution, which made Poland the first European country piloting palm vein biometric transactions. This solution enables consumers to pay with nothing more than the palm of their hand-eliminating the need for smartphones, cards or wearable devices. Users need to register their palm vein pattern via the Autopay app and link it to a payment card. At the checkout, instead of swiping a card or tapping a phone, the user just places their hand over a special scanner for making payments.
