In 2024, the Bank launched an extensive training programme, increasing by approximately 1,000 the number of employees certified to offer investment funds. This initiative ensures that customers in every retail branch have access to Pekao TFI investment solutions.
Access to Products

When developing new products and services, we prioritise their ethical impact. Our employees provide customers with clear, comprehensive, and transparent information about available products, explaining contract terms and associated risks.
In line with applicable laws, both the Bank and Pekao Group companies involved in offering financial products and services operate under strict regulatory frameworks. These frameworks define industry standards, establish guidelines to protect consumer interests, and mitigate compliance and reputational risks in product and service sales.
Our Bank has a process for the introduction, modification, and discontinuation of products offered to customers. This process establishes a framework that all new and modified products must comply with. It is governed by the Policy for the Introduction of New Products at Bank Pekao S.A. (hereinafter: the “New Product Introduction Policy”), which applies to all products, including insurance products. The policy also defines risk assessment areas, ensuring that all offerings align with our strategy, regulatory requirements, legal framework, and internal policies.
According to the provisions of the New Product Introduction Policy, the introduction or modification of any product requires approval from the Bank’s Management Board. The process involves multiple units within the Bank, with the responsible unit conducting a comprehensive analysis to ensure that the product:
- Aligns with the Bank’s strategy, including ESG principles;
- Positively impacts customer experience, as assessed through customer impact evaluations and targeted user testing;
- Meets internal financial, capital, profitability, and accounting criteria;
- Undergoes risk assessment, covering legal, compliance, reputational, operational (including complaints handling), credit, and financial risks;
- Is supported by secure systems, ensuring data protection and business continuity;
- Is compliant with FATCA and CRS requirements.
- Additionally, under EBA guidelines, before:
- Launching a new product,
- Expanding an existing product to a new target market, or
- Modifying an existing product,
the implementing unit must conduct product testing to assess its impact on customers. These tests cover a range of scenarios, including stress testing, helping supervisory bodies identify and mitigate potential weaknesses while safeguarding customer interests.
Measuring the quality of experience and needs
As part of our marketing efforts, we systematically measure customer experience and expectations by conducting research at the design stage of new products and services. This enables us to create solutions that are both appealing and easy to understand. We also test our offline and online campaigns regularly, gathering customer feedback to refine our messaging. In 2024, we published the Customer Experience Management Model, which focuses on:
- A customer service model leveraging the latest technologies to respond to evolving needs and reduce barriers;
- A new approach to customer experience management, based on four key pillars: strategy, measurement, improvement, and customer-centric culture;
- Digitisation and personalisation, increasing the number of products and services available via online and mobile channels, while incorporating AI and data analytics;
- Building trust-based relationships, ensuring transparency in communication and increasing customer confidence in digital banking channels;
- Flexibility and responsiveness, offering a fully omnichannel customer journey.
