Checkout.com deepens European reach with BLIK

By Milan Rojan

FinTech payments company Checkout.com has expanded its European network by becoming a direct scheme member and official partner of BLIK, Poland’s leading mobile payment system.

The move has been positioned as a way to give merchants better pricing, stronger performance and a more local checkout experience in Poland and the wider Central European region. BLIK was used by more than 20 million people and was embedded in everyday payments across the market.

Matthieu Barral, Head of Global Partnerships at Checkout.com, said,“ Our approach to expanding payment method coverage is grounded in merchant demand and real-world usage. BLIK is a clear example of that, as it’s trusted by millions in Poland and central to the country’s digital economy. By integrating directly, we give our merchants better economics, improved reliability, and a local checkout experience that drives conversion.”

Checkout.com has also supported BLIK’s new recurring payments feature, which has been rolled out across Polish banks in 2026. The update has opened the door to subscriptions, utilities and other recurring commerce use cases.

BLIK has joined Twint, Swish and Vipps MobilePay as one of the latest local payment methods added to Checkout.com’s European network. The company has said the broader network now includes more than 40 payment methods worldwide, reflecting a strategy built around consumer behaviour, merchant demand and market performance.

Adam Kokoszkiewicz, Sales Department Director at BLIK, said the partnership has been aimed at extending BLIK to more international merchants while keeping the payment flow familiar for Polish consumers. “This collaboration ensures that Polish consumers can pay with the method they know and trust, while giving merchants access to a high-converting flow built for the local market,” he said.

Every integration has been guided by local usage patterns and merchant needs, as Checkout.com has continued to push a checkout model that has been shaped market by market rather than through a single global approach.
