BLIK
Select IKO and use the Polish mobile payment standard - BLIK. BLIK allows payments in stores and online, withdrawal of money from ATMs and deposits in CDMs without using the card. BLIK is available in IKO as:
- BLIK code - individually generated one-time 6 digit string available in IKO. You will find it on the main screen of the app immediately after logging in. You can also view it before logging, if you enable this option in the IKO Settings.
- BLIK voucher - generated one-time 9 digit string in IKO. You can use the BLIK voucher alone or you can forward it to another person, who does not need to have IKO. The BLIK voucher transaction is always confirmed by a voucher password, which can be created in the iPKO Internet service.
BLIK system also supports interbank mobile transfers from the IKO mobile app to other users.

Please read:
- BLIK payments linked to a credit card are treated as non-cash transactions. This means that in case of repayment of the entire amount of debt on a date specified in the transaction statement, you do not pay interest for such transactions.
- IKO payments from the limit of a given credit card are included in the value of transactions that authorise the user to have a part or entire fee for annual card servicing cancelled.
- If you are using a credit card as a source of funds, it has to be active. If the card was specified as the source for payments and in the meantime it was cancelled or temporarily blocked, it is necessary to change the source of funds for the transactions once again or unblock the card. Otherwise BLIK transactions will be rejected. IKO app will remind you about the necessity of changing the settings. • BLIK payments from the credit card will be shown in the payment history.
- The iPKO website (Inteligo) only has a preview of the current configuration of the source of funds for BLIK payments.
- BLIK operations are subject to IKO limits. During BLIK transactions where the source of funds is a credit card, independent IKO limits and credit card limits are examined (see how to change the card limit in the IKO app) - the amount of the operation has to fit within both limits.
