Polish lawmakers have introduced a legislative project to amend the Electronic Communications Law to address errors in mobile payments, such as Blik transfers. The proposal seeks to prevent funds from being sent to incorrect recipients when a phone number changes ownership but remains linked to a previous owner’s banking details.

The amendment would require telecommunications operators to provide payment service providers with lists of numbers that have been reassigned to new subscribers following contract terminations. Telecommunications companies have expressed opposition, arguing that the proposal unfairly shifts the responsibility for securing financial services onto them.
