PKO BP is Poland’s biggest lender both in terms of assets and revenue. Founded in 1919 as Pocztowa Kasa Oszczędnościowa. Until 2004, when its stock was floated on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, it was controlled by the Treasury, which still holds some 31 percent of the lender’s shares. The company is also present in other countries, most notably Ukraine, where it owns Kredobank. It also has a leasing business in Sweden and is planning to enter Germany. The bank is also very aggressive on the Polish market when it comes to acquisitions: just recently, it purchased Nordea Bank Polska’s assets and is not ruling out acquiring other lenders, not only in Poland but also abroad.

Established in 1929 as an institution servicing expats and their finances. It had its branches in all major countries where there was a significant Polish population. During the communist era it issued its own currency, Bony towarowe Pekao, which were used instead of foreign currencies and used to buy products in special shops that were not available elsewhere (such as premium alcohols, Lego bricks, imported confectionery). Since 1999, the bank is controlled by the Italian UniCredit group, which purchased a majority stake from the Treasury.
