Polish banks to re-examine rejected unauthorized payment complaints after UOKiK pressure

Four Polish banks—Alior, mBank, BNP Paribas, and Bank Millennium—will re-examine previously rejected customer complaints about unauthorized payment transactions, following intervention by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK). This marks a regulatory-driven reversal in bank practices, potentially exposing them to liability and compensation costs. The move signals heightened consumer-protection enforcement in Poland's banking sector.
