Serving the niche

Cooperative banking sector in Poland consists of cooperative banks (Banki Spoldzielcze) and saving-lending cooperatives (SKOK). Both organizations are serving mostly niche markets A niche market also known as a target market is a focused, targetable portion (subset) of a market sector.

By definition, then, a business that focuses on a niche market is addressing a need for a product or service that is not being addressed by mainstream providers.
. An extensive infrastructure (>18% of all bank outlets in Poland belong to cooperative sector), enabling them to hold a strong position in many rural areas due to lack of other competitors. In terms of products and services, cooperative sector is not particularly innovative and is following the trends from commercial banking sector. The only exception is tailored, segment specific product offers for farmers/employees or incidentally attractive deposit rates above commercial banks level.

High growth, lower profitability

Within few recent years the cooperative banking sector has been growing quickly (banks assets), and the growth rates Growth Rates

Remember, historically high growth rates don't always mean a high rate of growth looking into the future.
 exceeded commercial banking sector. Due to specific ownership structure, high serving costs and not strict profit orientation (SKOK are in fact non-profit organizations A non-profit organization (abbreviated "NPO", also "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is a legally constituted organization whose primary objective is to support or to actively engage in activities of public or private interest without any commercial or monetary profit purposes. ), profitability of cooperative sector is significantly lower than at commercial banks. Naturally cooperative sector is serving less affluent and less demanding customers, and therefore, average revenues and profits per customer are also relatively low.

Future Prospects

Cooperative sector holds a firm position on the Polish banking market and is expected to keep growing faster than commercial banks. The key reason for growth of the sector is leveraging of EU support funds flowing to rural areas and proximity to the customer. Cooperative sector is also expected to gradually improve its product/service portfolio, becoming an alternative to commercial banks in serving mass retail customers.
