PKO Wants to Take Business to a Higher Level

PKO Bank Polski, the biggest bank in Poland, came up with an initiative for small business owners who are interested in improving their condition and expanding operations. Financial institutions’ representatives say that a bank is as strong as its customers, therefore it is in the interest of the company to have account holders that enjoy steady growth and have good standing.

PKO has prepared a series of workshops for entrepreneurs across the country the goal of which is to pass knowledge on the latest developments in the world of finance and law.

The Recent Updates of PKO Bank:

The name of the worship series is “Dzień Dobry Biznes” (“Good Morning Business”). The organizers want to teach the participants how to successfully develop their businesses, build a strong and recognizable brand, and be seen as attractive employers if they are looking for new employees. The events will take place in eleven towns across Poland and are available for companies that employ up to 50 staff members. The tagline of the workshops is “Expanding company”.

One of the topics on the agenda will be the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ways it will affect companies in Poland. The new law, which is to come into effect in May, means new obligations for businesses. Companies urgently need to adapt their systems and data processing procedures, but many of them are still not sure how to tackle this task.

Some other topics that will be discussed during the workshops are effective online advertising, promoting business and products, company PR, and Export Support Platforms. Participants will also have a chance to talk to numerous finance and banking experts.

The first event of the series took place in Wieliczka near Kraków. PKO BP will soon visit other Polish towns: Krosno, Świdnica, Nysa, Zielona Góra, Stargard, Chełm, Siedlce and Radom.

Implications for Banking and Business

Developments in the Polish banking sector affect businesses operating in the country in several ways. Access to corporate banking services, credit availability, deposit rates, and payment infrastructure are all critical factors for companies — whether established Polish firms or foreign-owned entities entering the market.

For foreign entrepreneurs setting up operations in Poland, choosing the right banking partner is a strategic decision. Major Polish banks including mBank, ING Bank Śląski, Bank Millennium, PKO BP, and Santander Poland offer varying levels of service for international clients, including English-language online banking, multicurrency accounts, and dedicated relationship managers for corporate clients.

The Polish banking market is well-regulated by the KNF (Financial Supervision Authority) and participates in the EU deposit guarantee scheme (BFG — Bank Guarantee Fund), providing deposit protection up to EUR 100,000 per depositor per institution. This regulatory framework provides stability and confidence for businesses maintaining corporate funds in Polish banks.
