Nordea Bank Polska prepares new battle plans

"We are aware that with our network of branches, we have to be based to a significant degree on servicing our customers through the Internet. However, we plan to substantially increase our presence in the largest cities," said the president of Nordea Bank Polska, Wlodzimierz Kicinski. Still this year, the company will increase its network by 10 branches to reach 53 outlets. The bank's president also revealed that next year new services will be introduced, such as private banking for the most wealthy customers. "At the moment we do not specialize in consumer finance and so we are now seeking a stronger presence on this market," added Kicinski. The company is also considering mergers and acquisitions.
