2015-05-25

The Retail Banker International competition jury for a second year in a row awarded Alior Bank with the title "European Retail Bank of the Year." The award was presented in recognition of the Bank's business efficiency which is exceptional in the European retail banking market.

On 21 May 2015, during a ceremonial gala in London, Retail Banker International announced a list of laureates in its international competition for retail banks. Alior Bank was among the winners of the 30th jubilee edition of the competition, and was named the "European Retail Bank of the Year." Competitors in this category included Barclays, KBC Bank, LaCaixa and Santander.

Witold Skrok, Alior Bank's Vice President of the Board, collected the award on behalf of the Bank. "The European Retail Bank of the Year, won for a second consecutive year, is a significant achievement and at the same time something to be proud of and particularly satisfied with because this way we become a showcase of the Polish banking sector," Witold Skrok said.

Retail Banker International is a leading global information source on the retail banking sector. Retail Banker International's awards have been granted for 30 years to retail banks that display exceptional performance and business achievements.

The European Retail Bank of the Year 2015 title is yet another international distinction awarded to Alior Bank. Last year the Bank won an award in the same category, being the first Polish financial institution to receive this prestigious title. The Bank has also been recognised in the rankings of the most prestigious global financial magazines. In April 2014, "Global Finance" awarded Alior Bank with the title "Best Bank in Poland" in its annual ranking of top financial institutions in developing countries. In addition to that, Alior Bank received the "Best Bank in Poland of 2013" title in the rankings held by "Euromoney Awards for Excellence" as well as "The Banker" magazine, owned by "Financial Times Ltd.".
