Safer banks and stricter control over financial supervisors

The law increases the safety of citizens' savings by tightening controls on banks, especially foreign branches from outside the European Union. It also introduces strict ethical rules for employees of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) to prevent conflicts of interest and corruption.
Key points
Greater savings security: Bank branches from outside the EU must maintain appropriate financial reserves and liquidity in Poland, which better protects customers' money.
Clear information on guarantees: Foreign bank branches must clearly inform customers whether their deposits are protected by a guarantee scheme.
No conflicts of interest in supervision: Employees of the Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) cannot own shares in supervised banks or immediately transition to working for them after leaving office (cooling-off periods).
Climate and ecology in banking: Banks must include climate and environmental risks (ESG) in their long-term financial strategies.
Better vetting of bank executives: The regulator gains more power to verify if bank managers are qualified, honest, and ensure financial stability.
