BNP Paribas Bank in Poland has a new offer for entrepreneurs and companies entering the market. Those customers who plan to start a business and decide on an Open Business Account can count on help with formalities, a set of business development tools worth PLN 5,000 (approx. EUR 1160), and a training package to start with. Additionally, the Bank offers free access to accounting and account management for up to a year and a half.
“For people starting their business adventure, financial benefits, knowledge, and substantive support are very important. A barrier for many entrepreneurs and companies is the legal complexities related to setting up a business and its later functioning – contributions to the Social Security Office (ZUS) or taxes. As the Bank of Good Decisions, we want to make the first steps easier for our customers who have a great idea for their businesses, but at the same time are concerned about formal or organizational issues. This package has been designed in such a way as to guide novice business owners through the difficult beginnings and equip them with the knowledge necessary for further business development,” – says Aneta Samul, Product Owner of the ESG and Beyond Banking Product at BNP Paribas Bank.
The “Starter package” includes assistance in registering for VAT and ZUS, access to professional business and accounting tools in the GOaccounting service, or e-training “ABC of taxes for entrepreneurs”. The package, the total value of which is PLN 5,000 (approx. EUR 1160), is complemented by benefits from the Bank’s partners, including PLN 600 (approx. EUR 140 EUR) on an Allegro gift card or discounts on computer equipment.
Each holder of such an account can also choose an accounting service option dedicated to their industry. An entrepreneur or a company can issue invoices free of charge, and an accountant settles documents online on an ongoing basis.
After meeting the appropriate conditions, the Bank’s business customers will be exempt from fees for maintaining an account (up to 18 months), online transfers in PLN, using a card, and deposits and withdrawals at ATMs located in BNP Paribas Bank Customer Centers.
