The story

Founded in 1999 as Blue Media S.A., the company grew into one of Poland's largest domestic payment institutions, providing an online payment gateway (pay-by-link, BLIK, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay) plus fleet-payment services for highway tolls in Poland and Austria (ASFINAG). Rebranded as Autopay in 2022 and expanded into open banking (AIS/PIS) verification services, positioning itself as an embedded finance infrastructure provider for e-commerce, banks, lenders, insurers and utility providers across Central Europe.
