Bank Millennium (capitalisation boursière de 1,5 milliards d'euros), banque universelle polonaise ouverte à tous les segments du marché, offre ses services à travers un réseau de 342 succursales, une force de vente directe, des distributeurs externes, ainsi que la banque électronique, dont Internet.

Bank Millennium was founded in 1989 when the Polish free market and democratic political transformations started. The Bank was the first financial institution quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (1992) and gained its present scale through mergers with other banks (in 1992 and 1997) as well as organic growth supported by a new business model which has been developed in co-operation with its strategic shareholder - Portuguese bank Millennium BCP (holds 50% shares). Bank Millennium, together with its subsidiaries providing specialised financial services (such as leasing, brokerage, mutual funds), makes an 8th largest banking capital group in Poland. The Bank has total assets of EUR 6 168 million and net profit for 2005 of EUR 141 million. It employs 4878 people.

Bank Millennium's strategy is based on three pillars:

1. To gain scale and profitability in the retail business through organic growth with special focus on mortgage loans, credit cards and mutual funds.

2. To improve sales in the corporate area to increase business results, special focus on leasing.

3. To explore synergies with Millennium BCP by taking advantage of international integration.

The Bank is going to expand its branch network by 120 new outlets by the year 2008. After 3 quarters of 2006 the Bank achieved excellent performance, in particular: 126% increase in mortgage loans y/y (14% market share in new sales), 131% growth in the number of credit cards and 118% growth in mutual funds. Thanks to a 28% increase in the value of new leasing contracts, the Bank keeps 6% market share in leasing services in Poland after 3 quarters 2006.
