What Banky.cz does

Banky.cz is a Czech financial product comparison and advisory portal founded in 1997 and headquartered in Prague, serving retail consumers across the Czech Republic. The platform aggregates 571+ financial products from 250+ financial institutions and lets users compare loans, mortgages (including refinancing), current accounts, savings accounts, pension savings, building savings, investments, and insurance (life, travel, property). Core products include the Srovnání půjček and Srovnání hypoték comparison engines, an online mortgage calculator, and the Hyponamiru.cz sub-brand offering end-to-end online mortgage brokerage.

The underlying technology is a web-based platform with proprietary comparison and calculation tools (mortgage and life-insurance calculators), a free expert Q&A advisory forum (Poradna) with 28,582 answered questions, a content magazine (Magazín) with 2,120 expert-authored articles, and a product review system. Mortgage advisory operations are conducted through tied agents operating under Broker Trust, a.s., a CNB-registered independent consumer credit intermediary, providing the regulatory basis for credit intermediation.

The business model is freemium for end users (all comparison, advisory, and editorial services are free), with revenue generated primarily through affiliate/referral fees from financial institutions when users apply for products via the platform, supplemented by advertising and featured placement fees. Customer acquisition is product-led and content-driven: organic SEO, the magazine, the poradna forum, email newsletters, and social media (Facebook, LinkedIn) drive top-of-funnel traffic. The company is privately held, led by CEO Miroslav Majer with Head Analyst Petr Jermář, and operates within a broader affiliated group of 12+ financial services entities including Broker Trust, HYPO na míru, GOLEM FINANCE, and ZenX Capital.
