To start using Blik contactless payments, you need to activate them in the banking application. To do this, you need to, among other things, specify the source of payment, which at the moment can be a current account, and soon also a credit card account. Activation does not require adding a payment card. You do not need to log in to the app during payment, nor do you need to have an internet or mobile network connection. The service can be used by owners of NFC-enabled devices using the Android system.
