Warsaw (Puls Biznesu) – Clients with banking cards will be able to pay out money in the post office. PKO BP bank which can’t wait to sign agreement with the state-owned company, helped in this project.
It will be soon possible to pay out money in the post office. Poczta Polska, the state-owned Polish Post, has launched tests of the system.
“We are running internal tests of the terminals because we are not allowed to offer this service yet. The Minister of Transport must give his approval”, Radoslaw Kazimierski, Poczta Polska spokesman said.
The services will be launched this year. ATMs will be installed at 2,000 out of 8,400 outlets of the post. PKO BP, Poland’s biggest retail bank, provides IT infrastructure and the possibility to authorize the transaction.
“If we were to install the ATMs by ourselves, we would have to pay costs we cannot afford. PKO BP clients will be able to pay out the cash for free, the way they do from our own ATMs. The clients of the other banks will pay provision”, Radoslaw Kazimierski said.
Poczta Polska and PKO BP are supposed to cooperate at the project of Bank Pocztowy. The agreement is ready but has not been signed by Poczta Polska authorities yet.
