What Stefczyka's cash register does

Kasa Stefczyka (legally Spółdzielcza Kasa Oszczędnościowo-Kredytowa im. Franciszka Stefczyka) is a Polish cooperative savings and loan institution (SKOK) founded in 1993 and headquartered in Gdynia. The institution operates hundreds of physical branches across Poland supplemented by digital channels — a mobile application (Kasa Stefczyka Online on iOS and Android), an online banking portal, and telephone banking (Tele-Kasa, Infolinia 801 600 100). It is member-owned rather than shareholder-owned, with members simultaneously acting as customers and co-owners of the cooperative.

The product portfolio spans personal current accounts (Proste Konto, IKS VIP, IKS Podstawowy) with Visa debit cards and BLIK/Google Pay mobile payment integration, a full consumer credit suite (Prosta Pożyczka up to 3,000 PLN at RRSO 8.29%, Pożyczka Online up to 30,000 PLN, Pożyczka Gotówkowa up to 70,000 PLN, consolidation loan FIT, mortgage and secured loans), business banking (Tandem account plus a tiered business loan ladder up to Kredyt Inwestycyjny at 10,000,000 PLN), and a range of savings instruments including term deposits with rates up to 6.50% on Lokata na Start and the Moja Skarbonka auto-save account. Insurance is distributed through a partnership with SALTUS covering life, accident, home, health, travel, and motor lines. Customer segments explicitly addressed are individual retail, seniors (with dedicated promotions), youth (free accounts up to age 25), entrepreneurs, and organizations.

Revenue mechanics follow a traditional cooperative banking model: net interest spread on loans and deposits, transaction fees on cards and wire transfers, and commission income from currency exchange and insurance distribution. Promotional levers include Poleć Nas referral rewards (50 PLN per referral up to 500 PLN), Kasa Wraca cashback (up to 150 PLN monthly on Visa card purchases), and senior pension-transfer bonuses. Deposits are guaranteed up to 100,000 EUR per depositor by the Bankowy Fundusz Gwarancyjny (BFG), and the institution complies with PSD2, RODO, FATCA, CRS, and AML frameworks.
