One-third of Poles take out loans - poll

Some 29 percent of Poles made use of some form of credit in the past 12 months, according to a TNS Polska survey conducted for lending platform Lendico. In the case of respondents with a family income of more than PLN 4,000, 43 percent took out loans in that time. In the lowest income group (below PLN 1,500), 32 percent did the same. “The results are related to the situation on the Polish credit market – banks and other serious financial institutions are cautious about granting loans,” said Dominik Steinkühler, managing director of Lendico.
