Support package for SMEs in Santander Bank Polska

Santander Bank Polska has provided new options to support its SME customers. From now on, customers who have suspended their business activity, will not pay the selected fees and charges.

Since the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic in Poland, Santander Bank Polska has been actively involved in helping companies operate.  Now it has prepared a special offer for those customers who were forced to suspend their business activity due to coronavirus.

Companies need diversified support in fighting the effects of the pandemic. Some entities need subsidies to maintain business activity and keep their employees.  Others decide to temporarily suspend their operations, hoping for a quick return to normality.  Each industry is in a different situation and has slightly different needs. Therefore, Santander Bank Polska has prepared a wide aid package addressed not only to borrowers. Currently, we are introducing further solutions developed for entrepreneurs who were forced to suspend their business activity.  Exemption from selected fees and charges translates into real savings for our clients.  “As a responsible bank, we want to help them in these difficult times
