Czech J&T Banka intends to double value of financing to companies in Poland

Czech private bank J&T Banka aims to double its EUR 400 mln Polish lending portfolio within five years and is examining opportunities in private banking and wealth management. The bank opened a Warsaw representative office in 2025 and operates in Poland under an EU banking passport, with no immediate plans to open a branch or seek a Polish license. Its Polish lending focuses on real estate, renewable energy, services and IT, with typical transactions ranging from EUR 20 mln to EUR 60–70 mln.

Management board member Jan Kotek said replicating the bank’s Czech and Slovak model, combining corporate financing with wealth management for affluent clients, would be an ideal scenario.
