First pilot BLIK transaction completed independently by an AI agent
For the first time, an AI agent independently completed a purchase and paid for it using BLIK, without the user’s involvement at the moment of the transaction. As part of the pilot project, the agent monitored the availability of a product specified by the user during a conversation with an AI assistant in the Your KAYA online store. When the selected product variant – a “light hand cream with coconut and almond fragrance” – became available again, the agent made the purchase. The PLN 19.99 transaction was carried out based on a prior instruction given to the agent, confirmed by entering a six-digit BLIK code and approving it in the user’s banking app. Juo was responsible for enabling the AI agent chat in store, while the payment was processed by PayU.
BLIK delivers a strong first half of 2026 – 1.6 billion transactions and over 2 million more active users year-on-year
From January to June 2026, BLIK users completed a total of 1.6 billion transactions worth nearly a quarter of a trillion zlotys. The second quarter alone saw more than 800 million transactions, confirming sustained high levels of activity within the system. As the scale grows, so does the scope of its use – at the end of June this year, BLIK had 21.6 million active users, with 6 out of 10 using at least two functions. During the period under review, individual areas of BLIK developed at a similar pace, while recurring payments saw increasingly strong interest among the services offered.
