Amerbank to seek new partners after restructuring

In the coming months Amerbank will be ready to find new partners, mainly among medium-sized financial institutions with Polish capital, in addition to seeking retail clients. By the end of the year the listed bank will finalize the introduction of an integrated IT system and complete its restructuring process, which was initiated last year. "Thanks to restructuring, the new IT system, and inflowing capital from its investor [Germany's DZ Bank] Amerbank will be able to increase its operational services at least five-fold. That is why we wish to cooperate with other banks. It will be an offer for institutions which are tackling operational problems and are unable to carry out major transactions," said Waldemar Maj, who will fill the post of Amerbank's president in June. The bank does not veil its intention to conduct mergers with other banks. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) A.C.
