BNP Paribas Bank Polska is a Polish bank, majority-owned by Paris-based BNP Paribas. It originates in the acquisition by BNP Paribas of BGZ Bank in 2015.
Overview
[edit]The legal merger of Bank Gospodarki Żywnościowej (BGZ Bank) and BNP Paribas Bank Polska took place on April 30, 2015 by transferring all the assets of BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A. to Bank BGŻ S.A. After the merger, the bank operated under the name of Bank BGŻ BNP Paribas S.A.[1][2]
In 2019, the BGŻ brand was finally phased out and replaced with BNP Paribas Bank Polska.[3]
In 2023 the bank was fined for restricting applications for the credit holidays, a program allowing Polish loan holders to postpone payment installments to help them with the rising cost of living, to a maximum of two months instead of the required eight.[4]
As of April 2025, BNP Paribas held an 81 percent stake in BNP Paribas Bank Polska, directly and indirectly through its Belgian subsidiary BNP Paribas Fortis.[5]
