We are one of the biggest banks in Poland. The bank as you want it. We feel responsible for our customers and we are accountable to the whole society.

We are the second largest banking group in Poland in terms of the value of assets and a member of the international Santander Group. Last year was a year of major changes for us. We rebranded and integrated into our structure a demerged part of Deutsche Bank Polska in order to keep implementing our strategy under the new brand even more effectively.

Santander Bank Polska S.A. is a parent company of Santander Bank Polska Group and a subsidiary of Banco Santander S.A.
