BLIK now available to first Slovak users, Czech merchants can also use it on the local market.
The BLIK system has completed all implementation work and is now available to Tatra banka customers. Slovak users of the Tatra banka VIAMO mobile app are the first to have the ability to make convenient, fast, and secure mobile payments using a six-digit code for online shopping. From now on, this feature will allow online shoppers in Slovakia to perform easier and online transactions directly from their phones. Thanks to partnership with PayU, a leading online payment service provider in CEE, the first online stores in Slovakia have already made the BLIK payment method available for their customers.
BLIK SK was introduced to the Slovak market in 2023 following a merger with VIAMO. In previous months, Tatra banka became the first bank to sign an agreement to participate in the BLIK system. Now, after completing the implementation work, users of the Tatra banka VIAMO app can already use BLIK mobile payments. To make a payment, they simply need to generate a 6-digit code in the Tatra banka VIAMO and enter it on the payment page. After this step, users see all transaction details and confirm the transaction using their PIN in the app. This method ensures convenience, speed, and transaction security.
PayU has become the first online payment service provider offering BLIK as a payment method for merchants transacting in Slovakia. Czech merchants who transact in Slovakia and use the PayU payment gateway can now also offer this payment method to their Slovak customers.

Over this time, it has become the leader in cashless payments in Poland. Thanks to its modern features, it improves the payment experience.
