The mObywatel mobile application serves as a digital gateway for Polish citizens to access state services and documents, including digital identities and temporary driving licenses. For new drivers, the app provides a digital permit valid for 30 days following a successful state exam.

Building on this digital infrastructure, Bank Pocztowy has integrated the mObywatel tool to streamline its mobile banking activation. This integration allows customers to set up mobile banking using their PESEL or Customer Identification Number (NIK) and identity confirmation through the state app, reducing the activation time from approximately five minutes to between one and two minutes.
