Autopay

"Kawa wjechała, tętno jest w normie, zaczynam dzień w wybitnej formie...”* I hope you're all off to as good a start today as I am — because today I have the pleasure and honor of announcing two major transfers. I'm genuinely delighted to share that Joanna Pieńkowska-Olczak and Mateusz Godecki are joining Autopay! Joanna hardly needs an introduction. A strong, distinctive figure and personality — and until recently, a formidable competitor. Former CEO of PayU in Poland and the CEE region. At Autopay, she'll oversee the development of new business lines, both in Poland and across the region. Joanna, I couldn't be happier that we'll be working together! Mateusz and I have known each other for a while now, and I can say with confidence — we're on the same wavelength. At Autopay, he'll oversee our operations and take on governance in the broadest sense. Mateusz is a highly experienced executive who built his career at, among others, BillBird and Polskie ePłatności. Mateusz — good to have people around us who thought of bringing us together! Joanna, Mateusz, welcome to the team. I trust you're both in equally great form today. And last but not least. We've spent the past few years strengthening and expanding our leadership team — and reshaping Autopayy as a whole. The results are showing. Today I'm proud to officially welcome two more strong personalities who will no doubt help us become an even better company. *Cytat z: HORYZMOR – „Mój Plan Na Dziś”, projekt Jarosława Adama Paradowskiego.

Jarosław Stankowski i Krzysztof Ambroziak skomentowali dla Gazeta Giełdy i Inwestorów „Parkiet” najnowszą odsłonę naszego badania Finanse Polek i Polaków 2026. Autor tekstu zestawił nasze wyniki z danymi VeloBank S.A. i wyszła z tego spójna diagnoza polskiego portfela. Inwestuje już 28% Polek i Polaków, wobec 16% dekadę temu. Jednocześnie badanie Velo Banku pokazuje, na czym polega ta ostrożność. Wśród oszczędzających dominują konto oszczędnościowe i lokaty krótkoterminowe, a obligacje czy IKE wybiera już wyraźnie mniej osób. Ekonomiści czytają to jako priorytet płynności nad stopą zwrotu. Nasze dane dodają do tego drugą warstwę. Bariera coraz rzadziej ma charakter finansowy, częściej to brak wiedzy i zaufania do produktów inwestycyjnych. Rynek stoi więc przed innym zadaniem niż jeszcze kilka lat temu. Musi uczyć, jak z oszczędności realnie skorzystać, zamiast tylko namawiać do ich gromadzenia. --- Jarosław Stankowski and Krzysztof Ambroziak spoke to Parkiet about the latest wave of our Finanse Polek i Polaków 2026 study. The article set our findings alongside data from Velo Bank, and together they paint a coherent picture of the Polish wallet. 28 percent of Poles now invest, up from 16 percent a decade ago. Velo Bank's research shows what that caution looks like in practice. Savers still favor savings accounts and short-term deposits, while bonds and IKE retirement accounts attract far fewer takers. Economists read this as a preference for liquidity over returns. Our data adds a second layer to that picture. The barrier is less often financial and more often a lack of knowledge and trust in investment products. The market now faces a different task than it did a few years ago. It needs to teach people how to actually put their savings to work, not just encourage them to save in the first place.

Today we launched Autopay NEXT, a youth management board of eight people, all under thirty. Every year I read popular lists like 30 Under 30 and come away with the same thought. People that age are running companies, building technology, and making decisions that carry real weight. So why is it that in large organizations their voice so rarely reaches the room where decisions get made? At Autopay, we have spent years meeting with students and supporting education, because I believe in it personally. Our involvement goes beyond universities, too: we back youth initiatives such as Econverse. Autopay NEXT is the natural next step. We want to put that potential to work within our company, not just talk about it elsewhere. The board's job is concrete: identify specific projects and initiatives we should be pursuing. From there, their recommendations enter the same lifecycle as any other project at Autopay — picked up and built into the roadmap by our managers, with our management board responsible for strategic alignment and compliance review, exactly as with every other initiative. No separate track, no special treatment — just a real path from idea to execution. I am counting on candor, especially in those moments when their view differs from ours. That is precisely why we created it. My thanks to all eight of them for saying YES. It's exactly this kind of energy we need right now, and I have no doubt we'll see very quickly just how much they have to offer.

Another European partnership for Autopay, this time with Italy's Incomedia. Merchants running stores on its WebSite X5 platform can now accept payments through Autopay. Incomedia has been operating from Ivrea since 1998. WebSite X5 is a software that supports the independent creation of websites and online stores, and is used by more than 2 million people across over 150 countries, in 22 languages. Payments are activated from within the software itself. The merchant opens an Autopay account and completes verification, with no separate integration project and no development resources required on the payment side. The store, the domain and the commercial relationship remain theirs. The benefit is mutual - Incomedia is expanding its presence in the Polish market and Autopay in the Italian one. The partnership is structured so that each side enters a new market supported by a partner established there for years. Commercial launch in September, in Poland and Italy simultaneously. The DACH region follows. -- Kolejne europejskie partnerstwo Autopay, tym razem z włoską firmą Incomedia.

WebSite X5 to oprogramowanie do samodzielnego tworzenia stron internetowych i sklepów online. Korzysta z niego ponad 2 mln osób w ponad 150 krajach, w 22 językach.

Sklep, domena i relacja z klientami pozostają w jego rękach. Korzyść jest obustronna - Incomedia zwiększa obecność na rynku polskim, a Autopay na włoskim. Partnerstwo ułożono tak, żeby każda ze stron wchodziła na nowy rynek ze wsparciem partnera, który działa tam od lat. Start komercyjny we wrześniu, jednocześnie w Polsce i we Włoszech. Następny w kolejce jest region DACH.

Autopay has been named to CNBC and Statista's World's Top Fintech Companies 2026 list in the Payments category. The ranking's fourth edition evaluated 3,500 companies across more than 25,000 data points. 500 companies from 55 countries made the final list, and Payments is the largest category, with 115 companies. Four are from Poland: Autopay, BLIK, Nest Bank S.A. and XTB online investing . You can't buy your way onto this list or get there by applying. It comes down to the data and the editorial team's research. For our clients, though, something else matters more than a spot on a list: whether payments hold up at peak sales, and whether the infrastructure can handle a new market launch. The ranking measures exactly that, so we treat it as a check on the work we do every day. -- Autopay trafił do zestawienia World's Top Fintech Companies 2026 w kategorii Payments, przygotowanego przez CNBC i Statistę. W czwartej edycji rankingu oceniono 3 500 firm na podstawie ponad 25 000 punktów danych. Na finalną listę trafiło 500 podmiotów z 55 krajów, a Payments jest jej największą kategorią i liczy 115 firm. Z Polski wyróżniono cztery: Autopay, BLIK, Nest Bank i XTB. Miejsca w rankingu nie da się kupić ani zdobyć samym zgłoszeniem, bo decydują dane i research redakcji. Dla naszych klientów liczy się jednak co innego niż miejsce na liście. Liczy się to, że płatności działają w szczycie sprzedaży i że infrastruktura wytrzymuje wejście na kolejny rynek. Ranking mierzy dokładnie te rzeczy, więc traktujemy go jako sprawdzian tego, co robimy na co dzień. #AutopayGrowth #InternationalLevel #MovingForward
