ING Bank Śląski vs Bank Pekao SA

Product: Credit card

ING Mastercard World and Pekao Premium are two premium cards with similar structure — limit up to 80 000 PLN, RRSO around 19.5–19.9%, loyalty programme for active-account clients. The pick depends on where you already hold an account — cross-sell is strong at both.

Verdict

Basics are close: RRSO ING 19.5%, Pekao 19.9%. Cashback: ING 1% on everything, Pekao up to 2% on selected categories (transport, e-commerce, restaurants). For spread spenders ING; for category-heavy spenders Pekao wins.

Minimum income: ING 4 000 PLN net, Pekao 4 500 PLN net. Practically a small gap. A new client without history gets an initial limit of 3–8 000 PLN at both, raised after 6–12 months of active use.
