Bank BPH presses ahead with promoting e-banking

BPH wants to convince large enterprises to switch to electronic banking and hopes that they will take more loans. "Corporate interest in investments is increasing. Therefore, we hope for a greater interest in loans," stated Bank BPH deputy president Mariusz Grendowicz. The bank currently has a 12% share in the market of loans for companies. "We are trying to persuade corporations to use our e services. Within a year we managed to convince 1,600 out of 6,000 large companies that bank with us. We hope that by the end of the year some 2,500 companies will use the Internet services," added Grendowicz. The company argues that it is not coordinating its actions with Pekao. "We do not communicate on our business issues. There is no cooperation," emphasized BPH president Józef Wancer. (Puls Biznesu, p. 12)
