Competition on Poland's payment market to intensify in 2017
Surging payments in Poland
As consumers embraced card payments, Poland advanced to top six European markets by the number of transactions. The key factor of surging use of cards in Poland are contactless payments. This has been possible thanks to acquirers and scheme owners promoting state-of-the-art payment infrastructure and thanks to issuer banks offering payment cards with contactless functionality.
However, growth in payments could not be attributed to card payments only. Poland is nowadays among global leaders in payment innovation with multitude of schemes and technological solutions being offered to customers, including ACH based schemes, specialized sector or service focused payment solutions, merchant-sponsored systems and universal wallets to mention only the major ones.
One should also notice first local applications of blockchain technology and the leading cryptocurrency – bitcoin, in payments in Poland. While trading in cryptocurrencies is already very well developed, there are also first acquirers and a group of merchants accepting bitcoins locally. The use of blockchain technology is still marginal in Poland, however, it is set for a fast growth.
BLIK is an interesting example of a local payment scheme backed by few major banks and based on ACH real-time settlements. BLIK has managed to challenge global players by offering competitive advantages to clients, in particular within online payments, P2P and ATM transactions.
The market-leading standard for mobile payments is likely to evolve itself within next five years. It could be assumed that the new standard will be based on payment cards and HCE/NFC technology rather than on ACH.
