Polish cities implement digital updates for resident loyalty cards

Municipalities in Poland are advancing digital services for resident loyalty programs. In Katowice, the Katowicka Karta Mieszkańca mobile application is being replaced by the wKato.app platform. Users of the current mobile app have until November 30, 2026, to migrate their accounts. The transition is designed to integrate various city services into a single application. Holders of physical plastic cards are not affected by this change and can continue using them as usual.

In Rybnik, the Rybnicka Karta Mieszkańca, known as Rybka, has integrated with the mObywatel national mobile application. This update allows residents to automatically pull their personal data and photos into applications for new or renewed cards, eliminating the need for manual data entry. The Rybka program currently includes 106 partners offering 20 different types of discounts, serving over 14,000 residents.
