She was no longer an object of desire. Poles fell in love with something different
Poles are less and less willing to use cash. This does not mean that we no longer need it. We still use it, but in very specific situations. Meanwhile, we have become more fond of modern payment methods.

We need less and less cash
71 percent of Poles already use a payment card at least once a week. 53 percent also use BLIK. This data was provided in the Inquiry report. 6 out of 10 people surveyed also declared that they pay in cash at least once a week. When it comes to cash, we most often use it to pay for services such as hairdressing.
The published report indicates that only 32 percent of transactions in Poland are carried out in cash. The most important e-wallets are currently gaining importance – Google Pay, Apple Pat and BLIK.
Everyone already knows BLIK
Currently, 90 percent of Poles know how to pay using BLIK, and as many as 53 percent of respondents make payments using it at least once a week.
Payment card is still number 1
Despite this, the most popular form of payment is still the payment card. 71 percent of respondents declared that they use the card at least once a week.
The report also shows that Poles most often pay bills via online transfers, and they prefer to pay for purchases in stationary stores by card. BLIK dominates online payments. Cash is used in more specific situations, but less and less. Poles most often use it when they need to pay for services – at a hairdresser, beautician, taxi driver.
The authors of the report believe that Poles have quite high confidence in digital payments and are open to new solutions. Not only has BLIK gained the trust of Poles, e-wallets are also becoming more and more popular (an increase from 55 percent to 64 percent in 2024).
It has to be comfortable and easy
For modern payment methods to be adopted by Poles, they must be, above all, simple and convenient – this is definitely the most important selection factor.
– summarizes the Inquiry report.
The study was carried out in 2024 on a representative sample of 1,001 adult Poles using the CAWI method.
