New director plans to make BP a national champion
Bank Pocztowy (BP) and its directors are planning to turn the institution from a bank which is 50 times smaller than PKO BP into a national leader, somewhat like in the case of Postbank in Germany or the Netherlands.
For several weeks all posts on the the new management board have been filled, with Szymon Midera recently joining the team to run retail banking in the capacity of a deputy president. In his opinion, the potential of the institution is not fully utilized, as currently it provides services to only 345,000 clients.
"We sold almost 100,000 cash loans and of this group we managed to acquire only 17,000 saving accounts. Through our intermediation over 200,000 micro-companies pay their obligations to ZUS and tax offices. Some 600,000 entrepreneurs had contact with the bank. These are our potential clients," said the deputy president.
In fall the bank will launch a promotional campaign with immediate cash loan and a potentially free account. "Pocztowy is a natural place of saving for millions of Poles," said Szymon Midera.
In the longer term the bank will introduce mortgage loans, credit cards and a package of services for companies. In the meantime, the bank is acquiring some employees from Polish Post (PP) to run its sales.
"We will change the motivational system so that an employee is rewarded for real results," said the deputy CEO.
