Patron GO, boilerplate
Patron GO is a free mobile app that connects to the user's bank account under the EU's PSD2 directive and turns everyday spending into savings, rewards and small wins, with no spreadsheets, charts or homework. It was launched in 2021 by Jiří Paták and Lukáš Vršecký. Today it is used by more than 600,000 people in Czechia, Slovakia and Poland, and from 12 October 2026 in Germany too.
“Over 600,000 users. Most of them came through a friend's recommendation.”
Patron GO, to be quoted as isFigures you can use.
Poland is more open to open banking than Czechia.
In Poland, 55-60% of people connect their bank, and they have done so from day one. In Czechia, after hundreds of experiments, we went from 15-20% to about 35%. Czechia is therefore not the region's technology leader.
