Nowadays, few people choose to pay with cash. When we shop online, we use online banking to pay, and when we go to the shop, we pay by card or phone. To keep up with the times, we are also taking advantage of new opportunities, enabling customers to pay with BLIK in our parcel machines as well!
BLIK is a mobile payment system that is hugely popular. Its biggest advantage is that you can pay for your purchases with your own phone. People who use this feature therefore do not have to remember to take cash or a payment card with them before leaving home.
Any operation that you want to make using BLIKA comes down to generating a 6-digit code in the bank's mobile app installed on your smartphone. To a large extent, this is similar to paying by card, but many users find it a much safer option.
The big advantage is, above all, that the payment can be made from the user's own mobile device. The code generated is one-time only and is only displayed in the app for two minutes - after which time it expires, so the user does not have to worry about someone using it again. In addition, paying with BLIK is really simple.
How do I pay with BLIK?
During payment, all you need to do is:
- generate a 6-digit code using the bank's mobile app,
- transcribe it to a payment terminal,
- confirm the transaction in the app on your device.
Why is it convenient to pay with BLICK?
When choosing the best payment method, people are often guided by security - their own and their funds. This is no different with BLIKA. Being able to perform basic transactions using a private, well-secured phone seems an ideal and very convenient solution.
People using BLIKA do not have to worry about always carrying cash or a card. They make every financial transaction using a 6-digit code that appears on the screen of their smartphone. It can therefore be said that the means of payment they have, with which they make purchases, is fully virtual.
The use of BLIK is already offered by most Polish banks - including PKO BP, ING Bank Śląski, GetIn Bank, Alior Bank, Santander Bank Polska, Bank Pekao S.A., Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, mBank, Bank Millenium or T-Mobile Usługi Bankowe.
What does BLIK enable?
Making payments in stationary shops is the main operation for which BLIK is used. To carry it out, all you need is a phone with your bank's mobile app installed. However, in addition to this, it can also be used during:
- Withdrawing money from an ATM
- Paying for online purchases
- Transferring money to a telephone number
- Deposit cash on account
As of 2018, there is another option for using BLIKA. It is payment at InPost parcel machines! To meet the expectations of our customers, we are trying to introduce more and more new facilities. This time, we are making it possible to pay for ordered or dispatched parcels directly at our machines - just by using BLIKA.
How do I pay with BLIK at a parcel machine?
The ability to make a transaction at one of our machines, using BLIKA, is not only attractive for those sending parcels. The introduction of this payment option is also an opportunity for those who prefer to order goods on delivery. This method allows them to pay for their parcel directly at the Parcel Machine.
Paying with BLIK at one of InPost's Parcel Machines is very simple and intuitive. It can be made in just a few steps:
- Order a cash-on-delivery parcel to a Parcel Machine of your choice,
- Wait to be informed that your package has been placed in the machine,
- On the Parcel Machine screen, enter your phone number,
- In the payment panel on the screen, select the "BLIK" option,
- Enter the 6-digit code generated in the bank's mobile app on your smartphone,
- Wait until the locker opens and you can pick up the package.
Equipping Parcel Machines with the possibility of using this payment method is certainly a convenient solution for many of our customers, so we will constantly strive to improve our offer!
Parcel machines are becoming increasingly popular
The latest figures are surprising to us! Online shoppers are increasingly opting for delivery to our Parcel Machines. Thanks to the huge interest, we can afford to put up more and more machines and introduce new facilities. Certainly one of the leading ones is the possibility of paying with BLIK directly at the InPost Parcel Machine!
We also encourage the use of our mobile app, which allows you to pick up your parcel remotely. This way, the customer does not have to wait in line to enter the necessary data on the machine screen. All you need to do is turn on the app on your smartphone and select the "pick up parcel remotely" option. After that, all that remains is to track down the open box.
Thanks to the innovations we are introducing, you can set off to collect your parcel with just your mobile phone! Use the app and BLIKA and enjoy online shopping!
