About the bank BNP Paribas Bank Polska
BNP Paribas Bank Polska in its current form was created from the merger of three banks: Bank Gospodarki Żywnościowej (BGŻ, founded in 1919), BNP Paribas Fortis and the core business spun off from Raiffeisen Bank Polska. The bank is now fully owned by the French BNP Paribas group — one of the largest banking groups in the euro area, with assets exceeding EUR 2 trillion.
BNP Paribas Bank Polska serves 4.2 million retail, business and agricultural customers. Thanks to its BGŻ roots, the bank retains a strong position in the agri-food sector. It offers the full range of products: personal accounts, cash loans, mortgages, deposits, credit cards and specialised agribusiness products. The GoMobile app and online banking provide full remote service.
For Polish residents in France, Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxembourg, BNP Paribas Bank Polska provides a recognisable group brand and familiar processes. The GoMobile app and bnpparibas.pl web banking offer English interfaces, with customer service handling English inquiries during Polish business hours. SEPA Credit Transfer to and from French BNP Paribas, Belgian BNP Paribas Fortis and other group entities is processed same-day under standard SEPA rules. EU residence documents are accepted in the verification flow alongside Polish ID.
Polish citizens earning EUR, GBP or CHF income can use BNP Paribas Bank Polska for Polish-property mortgages, with foreign-currency income accepted in creditworthiness calculations and documented foreign employment contracts and tax returns. Cross-border customers often value the BNP Paribas group's stability — assets exceeding EUR 2 trillion, G-SIB classification and operations across most of the eurozone. For daily multi-currency spending in the eurozone, fintech alternatives like Revolut or Wise typically offer tighter FX spreads; BNP Paribas Bank Polska's role is the Polish banking relationship — BIK history, Polish mortgages, ZUS and Urząd Skarbowy integration and access to KNF-regulated products.
