mBank makes excellent start in brokerage services

Multibank, also belonging to BRE Bank, has also started offering brokerage services to its customers. Both banks send orders to the market through DOM Investycyjny BRE Bank. The success of mBank reflects the interest of customers in buying shares. The bank has been offering brokerage services since the beginning of August 2005 and 17,200 of its customers have so far taken advantage of the possibility of buying shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). "This goes way beyond our expectations. At this rate we will be able to gain 25,000 clients for our eMAKLER service by the end of the year. We thought we would achieve this level after about 3 years," said Maciej Witkowski, head of investment products at the bank. (Parkiet 10 April p.3) S.D.
