Fortis Bank Polska — International Corporate Banking, Pomerania

Industry

International corporate banking, trade finance, treasury and structured finance

Challenge

Polish companies were accelerating international expansion after EU accession, creating growing demand for sophisticated banking services beyond simple lending and payments.

The challenge was to build deep, multi-product corporate relationships with ambitious international companies while competing against some of the strongest banking institutions in the market.

What We Shipped

Built and managed one of the strongest international corporate banking portfolios within the wider Fortis Group.

Led strategic relationships with companies from the Pomeranian region, delivering integrated financial solutions across:

  • Trade Finance
  • Cash Management
  • Treasury & FX
  • Investment financing
  • M&A-related banking support
  • international banking coordination

Participated in building and developing the Fortis Business Center in Gdańsk, supporting the bank’s regional growth strategy and strengthening relationships with export-oriented businesses.

Worked closely with entrepreneurs, CFOs and management boards, often acting as a strategic financial partner rather than only a banking representative.

Results

  • Developed one of the top-performing corporate portfolios within the group
  • Built long-term relationships with major regional companies
  • Expanded the bank’s presence in Northern Poland
  • Strengthened expertise in international corporate finance and structured banking solutions
