PKO Bank Polski Teams with MasterCard Prepaid Services

As one of Poland’s founding banks, PKO Bank Polski has grown to become an established leader and the country’s principal bank card issuer. Against the backdrop of a broader European market, the services they offer are constantly evolving to meet growing customer needs.

Polish law requires local governments to pay out certain social benefits to individuals. Traditionally, the local municipalities have enlisted financial institutions and post offices to help deliver the funds to the recipients. But the paper-based system and cash payments result in long queues for customers and take up a great deal of staff time.

PKO Bank Polski saw an opportunity to improve this process and developed the innovative prepaid Municipal card. The Maestro®-branded card was launched in September 2005.
