About 56% of adult Poles used online banking services in 2022, a government-sponsored economic think-tank reported.
“A more than three-fold growth has been observed in Poland over the past 15 years,” the Polish Economic Institute (PIE) said in its weekly publication on February 2, adding that only 13% of Poles used online banking in 2007.
However, Poland is still 4% behind the EU average.
Finland, Denmark and the Netherlands are the clear leaders in the EU, with rates of 95%, 94% and 91%, respectively.
Greece, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania lag behind Poland.
Poland also exhibits bigger differences than the EU average in online banking use when it comes to age groups. About 76% of people aged 25-34 use online banking services whereas only 22% of seniors aged 65-74 do their banking using the internet. (PAP/Business World Magazine)
