SEB opens, hopes to cherry-pick old clients

"We want to focus on servicing corporate clients. There are over 2,000 companies from Scandinavia, Germany and the Baltic region operating in Poland. This is our target group," said the head of SEB in Poland, Veine Svensson. He went on to add that he hopes to attract some of the customers the bank serviced previously under the BOS brand. According to Puls Biznesu, there might have been around 400 Scandinavian corporations being serviced by BOS. At the beginning of next year SEB plans to introduce private banking services. "We want to service the most wealthy retail clients from Poland as well as foreigners working here on contracts, especially employees of companies which are serviced by SEB in our region," added Svensson.
