Character of the lender
The strong segment is agricultural banking — the bank kept BGŻ's expertise in loans for farms, food processing and agribusiness. Investment loans with a state guarantee for farmers are among the most competitive on the market.
In retail BNP Paribas sits mid-pack with no standout products. Cash loan RRSO 10.5–13% in 2026, mortgage margin from 2.4%, BNP Paribas Mastercard credit card (limit up to 60 000 PLN, RRSO 19.9%). The bank runs a decent GoMobile mobile app, though with less function than mBank or Millennium.
BNP Paribas leans into sustainable finance — mortgage premiums for energy-efficient properties (0.1–0.2 pp margin discount for EU2020+ homes) and preferential terms for EV buyers.
