Branch and brand name sell-off the key to Unicredito deal

According to analysts this is a reasonable solution although it is hard to estimate its probability. "The brand has been very strongly promoted in the past few months. The branches as well as the customers have significant value. I think that those who would be interested are those who are not yet present on our market or those who would like to be a leader but are currently in the second league," said the president of one of the retail banks. It is being speculated that the branches could be acquired by Leszek Czarnecki, the main shareholder in Getin Holding which controls the quickly developing Getin Bank, or Zygmunt Solorz-Żak, owner of Polsat and Invest-Bank.
