DXC to develop existing platform to drive new
business opportunities in new markets
WARSAW, Poland, Nov. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology, a
leading Fortune 500 global technology services provider, will
support Polish Payment Standard (PSP) in the expansion of its
mobile payment system, BLIK, into Romania and Slovakia.
DXC will modernize and adapt the BLIK central system to meet
payment standards in Romania and
Slovakia. DXC will ensure BLIK is
able to handle transactions in Romanian Leu and Euros, and can
connect to the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunications) system.
Continuing a nine-year relationship, DXC will use software
engineering to help develop PSP's essential activities, adapting
the existing system to serve the fastest-growing e-commerce
segments in Romania and
Slovakia, and providing daily
technical support.
One of the largest payment systems in Poland, BLIK is at the forefront of driving a
new era of digital payments in the region. Between July and
September 2023, BLIK facilitated 455
million transactions worth 63 billion PLN ($15.7 billion USD).
"BLIK is highly regarded in Poland and we have confidence that our
solution will easily meet the requirements to integrate with other
large European banks. This will help us grow the number of users
engaging in e-commerce payments," said Dariusz Mazurkiewicz, President at Polish
Payment Standard. "We are pleased to have the support of an
experienced partner in DXC that can help us implement our
plans."
PSP is a joint venture between six leading Polish banks (Alior
Bank, Bank Millennium, Santander Bank Polska, ING Bank Śląski,
mBank and PKO Bank Polski) and Mastercard. BLIK, introduced in
2015, is a key part of Poland's
shift towards a common payment system. It allows customers to use
their mobile phones to withdraw cash from more than 20,000 ATMs and
facilitates hundreds of thousands of digital payment
transactions.
"This is a major project for Polish and European banking. As a
trusted partner, we will help PSP innovate the BLIK solution on a
global scale to achieve international success," said Michał Burda,
Country General Manager at DXC Technology Poland.
