Opening an account with ERSTE BANK POLSKA (Poland)

In 2026, the Polish financial market underwent a significant transformation - the well-known Santander Bank Polska officially became part of the Erste Group, changing its name to Erste Bank Polska. For Maira Consult's clients, this opened a unique access to Austrian capitalization standards and innovative products of one of the oldest banks in Europe.

Erste Bank in Poland is not just a change of signboard. It is an integration into a powerful financial network covering the whole of Central and Eastern Europe.

If you are planning to open a bank account in Poland, Erste Bank will become your reliable partner for storing assets and conducting international transactions.

Why does business choose Erste Bank Polska?

The entry of such a giant as Erste has greatly simplified the opening of a corporate account in Poland for international companies and the IT sector. The bank offers:

1. The highest level of security: As part of an Austrian group, the bank is subject to strict EU directives, which guarantees deposit protection and stability of operations.
2. Innovative George banking: Each client has access to an advanced online banking platform that allows them to manage their accounts, foreign exchange transactions and deposits in real time.
3. Loyalty to non-residents: Unlike many other institutions, Erste Bank in Poland has developed special verification protocols (KYC) that allow a foreigner or a foreign company to open an account with the right documents.
4. Multi-currency service: You can conduct business in PLN, EUR, USD, GBP and other currencies using favorable rates of the bank's internal exchange.
