Start-ups

We support start-ups as part of the Poland Prize programme, which aims to prepare foreign start-ups to operating in Poland and facilitating their further development. Santander Bank Polska is a key partner of the accelerator in the Fintech segment. Our goal is to establish business relations with companies that successfully pass the acceleration process and then scaling them within the Santander Group.

In 2019, we selected four companies to take part in an intensive training and targeting programme. They will receive funding of up to PLN 200 thousand for the implementation of the proof of concept process in the bank, including validation of the proposed solution, testing the potential for technological integration and the real possibility of delivering and maintaining the solution by the start-up.

The programme involves bank employees who act as mentors. Their role is to support the start-up on the path leading to the implementation of the solution, to be a guide to the processes and conditions prevailing in the bank and to define milestones on the way to implementation of the solution.
