Poland expands mObywatel app electronic payment services

The mObywatel mobile application is expanding its electronic payment capabilities, allowing residents in various Polish municipalities to settle local government obligations directly via smartphone. The service enables users to pay property taxes, agricultural and forest taxes, waste management fees, water supply charges, and land lease or rental fees without manually entering account numbers.

Payments can be completed using BLIK, credit/debit cards, Google Pay, or Apple Pay, with no additional commissions charged to the user. The system automatically provides the account number, amount, and payment title, and issues a confirmation upon completion.

In the Kujawsko-Pomorskie region, six municipalities have already integrated the service. Nationally, over 300 offices and institutions now utilize these electronic payments. Recent data indicates significant adoption, with the service facilitating approximately 1.7 million payments totaling over 170 million PLN to date.
