2 Accounting principles

2.1 Basis for preparation

Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank Spółka Akcyjna Group for the 3-month period ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union and in accordance with the requirements set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 29 of March 2018 on current and periodic information provided by issuers of securities and the conditions for recognizing as equivalent information required by the law of a non-member state.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should therefore be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank Group for 2024.

The interim consolidated income statement, interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial period from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025 and interim consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2025 including the comparatives have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements ended 31 December 2024, except for the changes in the standards that entered into force on 1 January 2025 and changes in accounting policies described in note 2.2.

Scope and reporting currency

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank SA Group comprise the data of the Bank and its subsidiaries. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Polish zloty ("PLN"). All figures, unless otherwise indicated, are rounded to the nearest thousand.

Going concern

The interim condensed separate financial statements of the Alior Bank Spółka Akcyjna Capital Group for the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025 have been prepared on the assumption that the Bank will continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of their preparation.

As at the date of approval of this report by the Bank's Management Board, there are no circumstances indicating a threat to the continued operation of the Capital Group.

2.2 Accounting principles

2.2.1 Significant estimates

The Group makes estimates and makes assumptions that affect the values of assets and liabilities presented in this and the next reporting period. Estimates and assumptions that are subject to continuous evaluation are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations as to future events that seem justified in a given situation.

Recognition of bancassurance income

The Group allocates the received remuneration for distribution of insurance products related to the sale of loans – in accordance with the economic content of the transaction – as remuneration constituting:

  • an integral part of the remuneration received for the offered financial instruments;
  • remuneration for agency services;
  • remuneration for the provision of additional activities performed during the insurance contract (recognised by the Group over a period when the services are provided).

The economic title of the received remuneration determines the way it is disclosed in the Bank's books.

The model of "relative fair value" is applied to determine the split of the remuneration related to insurance offered in connection with cash and mortgage loans and insurance sold without any relationship to financial instruments (in terms of provision for customer resigns and administrative costs).

The "relative fair value" model approved by the Group consists in estimating the fair value of each element of the overall service of loan sale with insurance in order to determine the proportion of fair value of both services. In accordance with such proportion of fair value, remuneration under the joint loan and insurance transaction is allocated to each component.

Impairment of loans, expected credit losses

At each reporting date, the Group assesses the credit quality of the receivables and assesses whether there are objective triggers for impairment of credit exposures and whether the credit exposure has impaired.

The Group accepts that a financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired and such impairment loss is incurred only when there are objective indications resulting from one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of such asset and the event (or events) causing trigger has a negative impact on the expected future cash flows of a given exposure, leading to the recognition of a loss. Therefore, for all impaired credit exposures, the Group determines an allowance representing the difference between the gross exposure value and the expected recoveries after taking into account the default status / probability in a given time horizon.

Exposures with no identified impairment indications are grouped in homogeneous groups in terms of the risk profile and a provision is recognised for such group of exposures to cover expected losses (ECL).

The estimated losses expected are based on:

  • estimated exposure value at the time of default (EAD model);
  • estimated distribution of risk of default within the lifetime of the exposure (life-time PD model);
  • estimated level of loss in case of default of the client (LGD model).

Information on the adopted assumptions affecting the amount of expected losses are presented in note 19 – Loans and advances to customers.

Non-current assets impairment

In accordance with IAS 36, the Group assesses non-current assets in terms of the existence of premises indicating their impairment. If there is such evidence, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of a given asset exceeds its recoverable amount, its impairment is recognized, and a write-off is made to adjust its value to the level of its recoverable amount.

Investment financial assets and derivatives

For the purposes of disclosures in accordance with IFRS 7, the Group estimates changes to measurements of debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and derivative instruments with a linear risk profile not covered with hedge accounting assuming a parallel shift of profitability curves by 50pb. To this end, the Group constructs profitability curves on the basis of market data. The Group analyses the impact on transaction measurement of changes to profitability curves with the assumed scenarios.

Provisions for the reimbursement of commissions in the event of early repayment

The Group constantly monitors the value of the estimated amount of expected payments resulting from prepayments of consumer loans made before the judgment date of Court of Justice of the European Union ('CJEU') of 11 September 2019 in case C-383/18 (so-called Lexitor case). The basis for updating the value of the estimate is the inclusion in the calculation of the historically observed trend of the amount of loan cost reimbursements resulting from the customer complaints submitted to the Bank.

Provision for legal risk related to the FX indexed loan portfolio

The Group estimated the costs of legal risk related to the FX indexed loan portfolio and applied the provisions of IFRS 9B.5.4.6 to its recognition - it treated this estimate as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of the portfolio of mortgage loans indexed with foreign currencies or created provisions in accordance with the requirements of IAS 37 (where the amount of the estimated legal risk costs exceeds the gross carrying amount of the credit exposure or the amount of the estimate relates to repaid foreign currency mortgage loans or when the estimated amount relates to expected legal claims, including statutory interest).

The costs of legal risk constituting an adjustment to the gross carrying amount were estimated taking into account a number of assumptions, including the Group's assumption of an increase in the market scale of lawsuits, among others in connection with the position of the Advocate General of the European Court of Justice published on 16 February 2023 and the judgment of the European Court of Justice of 15 June 2023.

These costs were estimated on the basis of:

  • the pace of the inflow of disputes regarding the legal risk of mortgage loans in foreign currencies and the estimated percentage of the portfolio of FX mortgage loans that will be the subject of litigation, observed so far and forecast by the Group in future periods,
  • statistics of the value of the subject matter of the dispute in previous lawsuits,
  • the estimated percentage of disputes lost by banks, reported by the Polish Bank Association, including the percentage of cases ending with the invalidation of the contract and the percentage of cases ending with the conversion of contracts into Polish zloty.

Actuarial provision

Provisions for employee benefits are measured with actuarial techniques and assumptions. The calculation covers all retirement benefits potentially disbursable in the future. The provision has been established on the basis of a list of persons with all the required personal data, including seniority, age, and gender. The accrued provisions are equal to the discounted payments to be made in the future subject to staff rotation and apply to the period until the end of the reporting period.

Fair value measurement rules

The principles for the fair value measurement of derivatives and non-quoted debt securities measured at fair value are presented in note 29 – Fair value and have not changed from the principles presented in the financial statements prepared as at 31 December 2024.

Hedge accounting

For the purposes of disclosures in accordance with IFRS 7, the Group estimates changes to measurements of the derivative instruments with a linear risk profile assuming a parallel shift of profitability curves by 50 pb. To this end, the Group constructs profitability curves on the basis of market data. The Group analyses the impact on transaction profitability of a change of profitability curves for the portfolio of derivative instruments with a linear risk profile, covered with hedge accounting.

2.2.2 Significant accounting policies

Detailed accounting policies were presented in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 published on Alior Bank's website on 4 March 2025.

2.2.3 Changes in accounting standards

In these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the same accounting standards have been applied as in the case of annual consolidated financial statements for the year 2024 and the standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable to the annual periods starting 1 January 2025 mentioned below.

Change Impact on the Group's report
Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange
Rates: Lack of Exchangeability
These changes specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is
convertible into another currency and how it should determine the spot
exchange rate if it cannot be converted. The change will not have a impact
on the Group's financial statements.

Standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective because they have not been approved by the European Union or have been approved by the European Union but have not been previously applied by the Group, were presented in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2024. No standards or changes to accounting standards will be published in 2025.

2.3 Changes to presentation and explanation of differences in relation to previously published financial statements

Compared to the financial statements prepared as at 31 March 2024, the Group made the following changes:

  1. corrected the presentation of brokerage commissions, after the change these commissions are presented in the item "Fee and commission income", previously the Group presented this income in the item "Other operating income". In the Group's opinion, the introduced change is a better place of presentation due to the fact that brokerage commissions are related to the basic financial services offered by the Bank's subsidiary. The above change did not affect the net result.

13 Banking Tax

The Act on Tax from Certain Financial Institutions of 15 January 2016 became effective on 1 February 2016 – the Act applies to banks and insurance companies. The tax accrues on the surplus of assets in excess of PLN 4 billion as detailed in trial balances as at the end of each month. Banks are entitled to reduce the tax base by, among others, the value of own funds, the value of assets in the form of Treasury securities, the value of assets in the form of securities guaranteed by the State Treasury, the value of assets acquired from the NBP, constituting security for a refinancing loan granted by the NBP. The tax is payable monthly (the monthly rate is 0.0366%) by the 25th day of the month following the month to which it applies and is recognised in the profit and loss account in the period to which it applies.

14 Income tax

In accordance with IAS 34, the Capital Group took into account the principle of recognizing income tax charges on the financial result based on the management's best possible estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate that the Capital Group expects in 2025. The projected annual effective tax rate is approximately 24%.

Basic profit per share is calculated as the quotient of profit attributable to the Bank's shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in the year.

Pursuant to IAS 33, diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the ratio of the profit attributable to the Bank's shareholders to the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted as if all dilutive potential ordinary shares were converted into shares. As at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, the Group did not have dilutive instruments.

19 Loans and advances to customers

19.1 Accounting principles

During I quarter of 2025, the Group did not change the rules and methodology for classifying loan exposures and estimating provisions for expected credit losses. The applied rules are the same as those described in the annual financial statements.

Rules for classifying exposures covered by key statutory customer support instruments

The key statutory customer support tools available, inter alia, due to the macroeconomic situation, include:

  • Borrowers Support Fund,
  • moratoriums available to customers who have lost their source of income,
  • payment moratoria for PLN mortgage portfolios,
  • moratoriums for customers affected by flooding.

Exposures covered by the Borrowers Support Fund and exposures covered by moratoriums for customers who have lost their source of income are classified by the Group to forbearance and, consequently, to Stage 2 (unless they meet the impairment / default criteria, which would result in classification to Stage 3).

Mortgage exposures covered by payment moratoriums and exposures covered by moratoriums resulting from the effects of flooding are subject to general classification rules, where the use of moratoriums does not meet the conditions of the facility offered due to the worsened financial situation, as it is not a criterion for using the instrument.

19.2 Future macroeconomic factors in the assessment of credit quality and impairment allowances estimation

The Group ensures that future macroeconomic factors are included in all significant components of the estimated credit losses. Taking into account future macroeconomic factors ensures that the current valuation of ECL reflects the expected scale of deterioration in the credit quality of the portfolio due to the tough macroeconomic environment.

The Group currently considers the key risk areas to be significant, unprecedented changes in the macroeconomic environment (changes in interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, energy prices) resulting from the long-term effects of the pandemic and other global challenges, as well as the effect of the war in Ukraine and geopolitical risk.

A complex macroeconomic environment and its impact on the loan portfolio

Due to significant - unprecedented - changes in the macroeconomic environment (changes in interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, energy prices), the FLI component in the portfolio valuation is important, reflecting the Group's expectations regarding the scenario development of macroeconomic factors.

The Group ensures that future macroeconomic factors are included in all material components of the expected credit loss estimate. The FLI adjustments developed for individual risk parameters ensure that the risk parameter estimates are adjusted to future macroeconomic factors and are included at the level of individual exposures. Within the individual models of expected loss parameters, the Group has developed econometric solutions and sensitivity analyses that enable the assessment of the impact of macroeconomic scenarios on the behavior of the credit portfolio.

The Group uses econometric models describing changes in the DR (default rate) and LGD (loss given default) parameters depending on macroeconomic scenarios.

In particular, in terms of the methodology used for the PD parameter, the Group uses:

  • for the retail customer segment, econometric models making the evolution of the DR level dependent on macroeconomic factors in individual scenarios,
  • for the corporate client segment that does not keep full accounting, an econometric model forecasting the level of DR depending on macro factors,
  • for the corporate client segment maintaining full accounting, industry models enabling the simulation of the client's rating assessment, fed with current information on changes in the macroeconomic environment, taking into account the current levels of sales revenues and margin levels.

In the area of the LGD parameter, a solution is used that makes the level of recovery dependent on the dynamics of changes in macroeconomic factors such as Gross Domestic Product, wages, and the NBP base rate (the scope and sensitivity to a given factor were adjusted depending on the model segment).

As regards the collateral included in the valuation of credit exposure impairment, the Group takes into account the risk of negative future macroeconomic factors affecting the collateral value and applies an additional haircut over the current market valuations and estimated recovery rates reflecting the economic recoverability of collateral.

The models used in the PD parameter area assume that the disposable income of households is influenced by factors such as GDP dynamics, real wage dynamics, reference rate, unemployment rate or EUR/PLN exchange rate. Interdependencies between macroeconomic variables are taken into account at the stage of creating scenarios.

Sensitivity of results to variability of assumptions

The Group assumes 3 scenarios of the future macroeconomic situation:

  • base, with a probability of implementation of 50% (where the GDP growth rate at the end of the following years in the period 2025-2026 is 3.7% y/y and 3.6% y/y, respectively, and the NBP base rate is 5.00% and 3.5% ,respectively),
  • negative, with a probability of implementation of 25% (where the GDP growth rate at the end of the following years in the period 2025-2026 is 1.7% y/y and 2.2%, respectively, and the NBP base rate is 6.3% and 4.3%,respectively),
  • optimistic, with a probability of implementation of 25% (where the GDP growth rate at the end of the following years in the period 2025-2026 is 5.1% y/y and 5.3%, respectively, and the NBP base rate is 4.3% and 3.0%,respectively).

developed internally by the Macroeconomic Analysis Department.

19.3 Quality and structure of the loan portfolio

Key credit portfolio quality indicators as at 31 March 2025

As at 31 March 2025, despite the negative macroeconomic environment and geopolitical situation, the Group did not observe a significant negative impact on the quality of the loan portfolio. The share of 30-day

overdue loans in the regular portfolio as at 31 March 2025 was 0.38% compared to 0.35 % as at 31 December 2024.

In the Group's opinion, this situation is largely due to:

  • insignificant, negative transmission of the increased interest rates on the debt servicing capacity of the Bank's clients,
  • insignificant impact on the quality of the loan portfolio of the armed conflict in Ukraine,
  • the scale of support clients receive in terms of payment moratoriums and the borrowers' support fund.

The Group adapts its lending policies and processes to the current macroeconomic situation and the resulting threats (both in terms of adapting the lending policy and processes to the pandemic environment, high interest rate environment and the geopolitical and economic effects of the war in Ukraine). The changes are aimed at supporting customers (including in the scope of business activities conducted by corporate customers) while at the same time focusing on minimizing the Group's credit losses.

Thanks to all the above circumstances and actions, the quality of the loan portfolio has so far remained resilient to the effects of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.

As at 31 March 2025 the level of write-downs for exposures classified to Stage 1 and Stage 2 is approx. PLN 0.9 billion and remains stable compared to the level maintained as at 31 December 2024. The key credit parameters of the regular portfolio are presented below (non-default):

29 Fair value

29.1 Accounting principles and estimates and assumptions

The fair value is a price receivable in the sale of an asset or payable for transfer of a liability in an arm's length transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market as at the measurement date subject to prevailing market conditions (exit price), irrespective of the fact if such price is directly observable or estimated with another measurement technique.

Depending on the classification category of financial assets and liabilities to a specific hierarchy level, various methods to measure fair value are applied.

Level 1: On the basis of prices quoted in the principal (or most advantageous) market

Financial assets and liabilities with fair value measured directly on the basis of quoted prices (not adjusted) from active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes financial and equity instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss for which there is an active market and for which the fair value is determined on the basis of market value being the purchase price:

  • debt securities listed on active, liquid financial markets,
  • debt and equity securities traded in a regulated market, including in the portfolio of the Brokerage House,
  • derivative instruments that are traded in a regulated market,
  • cash.

Level 2: On the basis of measurement techniques based on assumptions using information coming from the principal (or most advantageous) market;

Financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is measured with measurement models where all material input data is observable in the market directly (as prices) or indirectly (relying on prices). In that category the Group classifies financial instruments for which no active market exists:

commodity futures contracts.

Level 3: For which minimum one factor affecting the price is not observable in the market.

Financial assets and liabilities with the fair value measured with the measurement models where input data is not based on observable market data (non-observable input data).

Such instruments include options embedded in certificates of deposit issued by the Group and options in the interbank market to hedge positions of the embedded options. The fair value is determined on the basis of market prices of those options or an internal model subject to both observable parameters (e.g. price of the base instrument, secondary quotations of options) and non-observable (e.g. variability, correlations between base instruments in options based on a basket). Model parameters are determined on the basis of a statistical analysis. At the end of the reporting period, the position in the above-mentioned instruments was closed on back-to-back basis, which means that the change in valuation of options embedded in structured instruments is offset by changes in the valuation of options concluded on the interbank market.

Transfers of instruments between measurement levels are made as at the end of the reporting period. Transfers are made subject to conditions set forth in the international financial reporting standards. for instance, quotation availability of instruments from an active market, availability of quotations of pricing factors, or impact of non-observable data on the fair value.

29.2 Financial data

Below there are carrying values of financial assets and liabilities split into measurement categories (levels).

Compared to the previous reporting period, the classification and measurement principles for individual levels of the fair value hierarchy have not changed.

For many instruments market values are not available, therefore the fair value is estimated with a number of measurement techniques. Measurement of the fair value of financial instruments has been made with a model based on estimates of the present value of future cash flows by discounting cash flows at appropriate discount rates.

All model calculations contain certain simplifications and are sensitive to the underlying assumptions. Below there is a summary of core methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value.

Loans and advances to customers:

In the method applied by the Group to calculate the fair value of receivables from customers (without overdraft facilities), the Group compares the margins generated on newly granted loans (in the month preceding the reporting date) with the margin on the total loan portfolio. If the margins on newly granted loans are higher than the margins on the portfolio, the fair value of the loan is lower than its carrying value. In the opposite situation, i.e. if the margins on newly granted loans are lower than the margins on the existing portfolio, the fair value of the loans is higher than their carrying value.

In the case of loans based on a fixed rate or a periodically fixed rate, in the method of calculating their fair value, in addition to the standard component based on margins, the Bank also uses a component that takes into account changes in the level of market interest rates.

Loans and advances to customers were fully classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the application of a measurement model with material non-observable input data or current margins generated on newly granted loans.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

The Group assumes that the fair value of customer and bank deposits and other financial liabilities maturing within 1 year is approximately equal to their carrying value. Deposits are accepted on a daily basis and thus their terms and conditions are similar to the prevailing market terms and conditions of identical transactions. The maturities of those items are short and therefore there is no major difference between the carrying value and fair value.

For disclosure purposes, the Group determines the fair value of financial liabilities with residual maturities (or repricing of the variable rate) in excess of 1 year. That group of liabilities includes the own issues and

subordinated loans. Determining the fair value of that group of liabilities, the Group determines the present value on anticipated payments on the basis of present percentage curves and the original spread of the issue.

Other financial assets and liabilities

For other financial instruments, the Group assumes that the carrying value is close to fair value. This applies to the following items: cash and cash equivalents, assets available for sale, other financial assets, and other financial liabilities.

31 Benefits for the for senior executives

31.1 Principles applicable to the remuneration of persons in managerial positions at the Bank

The Bank has a Remuneration Policy which covers all employees with its provisions. The Remuneration Policy is reviewed by the Appointment and Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board and adopted by the Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board. As regards persons holding managerial positions, who have a significant impact on the risk profile, the principles of the Policy have been established based on the provisions of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance, Funds and Regional Policy of 8 June

2021 on the risk management system and internal control system as well as the remuneration policy in banks.

Persons having an impact on the Risk Profile (MRT) are members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, managing directors and other persons identified on the basis of the criteria defined in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/923 of 25 March 2021 supplementing Directive 2013/36 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the criteria for determining management responsibilities, control functions, significant business units and the significant impact on the risk profile of a significant business unit, and specifying criteria for identifying employees or categories of staff whose professional activities affect the risk profile of these institutions in a comparable manner as important as in the case of employees or categories of employees referred to in art. 92 sec. 3 of this directive.

31.2 Financial data

The total cost of remuneration of Members of the Bank's Supervisory Board and Members of the Bank's Management Board from 1 January to 31 March 2025 recognized in the profit and loss account of the Group in this period amounted to PLN 4 814 thousand (in the period from 1 January to 31 March 2024 - PLN 5 912 thousand).

31.3 Incentive program for senior executives

The following incentive programs operate in the Alior Bank SA Group:

  • bonus scheme for the Management Board, valid from 2016;
  • annual variable remuneration granted partly in financial instruments (phantom shares) for persons having an impact on the risk profile; the settlement of phantom shares takes place in cash.

32 Legal claims

None of the individual proceedings pending during the first quarter of 2025 before a court, a body competent for arbitration proceedings or a public administration body, as well as all proceedings taken together, pose a threat to the Group's financial liquidity.

In accordance with IAS 37, the Group each time assesses whether a past event gave rise to a present obligation. In legal claims, the Group additionally uses expert opinions. If, based on expert judgment and taking into account all circumstances, the Group assesses that the existence of a present obligation as at the balance sheet date is more likely than not and the Group is able to reliably estimate the amount of the obligation in this respect, then it creates a provision. As at 31 March 2025, the Group created provisions for

legal claims brought against the Group's entities, which, according to the legal opinion, involve the risk of outflow of funds due to fulfillment of the obligation in the amount of PLN 222 047 thousand and as at 31 December 2024 in the amount of PLN 216 126 thousand.

The proceedings which according to the opinion of the Management Board are significant are presented below.

Cases related to the distribution of certificates of participation in investment funds

The Bank, as part of its activities as part of a separate organizational unit - Biuro Maklerskie Alior Bank SA, in the years 2012 - 2016 conducted activities in the field of distribution of certificates of participation in investment funds: Inwestycje Rolne Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych, Inwestycje Selektywne Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych, Lasy Polskie Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych and Vivante Fundusz Inwestycyjny Zamknięty Aktywów Niepublicznych (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Funds"). The Bank distributed over 250 thousand investment certificates of the Funds.

On 21 November 2017, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ("PFSA") issued a decision to withdraw the permit to operate by FinCrea TFI SA, which is the managing body of the Funds. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority justified the issuance of a decision found in the course of administrative proceedings for gross violations of the provisions of the Act on investment funds and management of alternative investment funds. The decision was immediately enforceable. No society has decided to take over the management of the Funds, which, pursuant to Art. 68 paragraph 2 in connection with Art. 246 paragraph 1 point 2 of the Act on Investment Funds and Management of Alternative Investment Funds was the reason for the dissolution of the Funds. The dissolution of an investment fund takes place after liquidation.

Investment funds were liquidated in 2024 by Raiffeisen Bank International AG with its registered office in Vienna - the liquidator. The liquidator paid out the funds obtained from the liquidation in proportion to the number of investment certificates held by the fund participants. The payments mean the remission of investment certificates held by fund participants.

Claims for payment

As at 31.03.2025, the Bank is defendant in 170 cases brought by the buyers of the Fund's investment certificates for payment (compensation for damage). The total value of the dispute in these cases is PLN 56 million.

In the Bank's opinion, each payment case requires an individual approach. The Bank conducted an analysis, selected cases and distinguished those with specific risk factors, which the Bank took into account in the approach to the provision created for this purpose. The Bank changed the estimate of the reserves held as of the balance sheet date in connection with the cases brought against the Bank by purchasers of the Funds' investment certificates for payment and for determining liability. The Bank will analyse the judgments issued on an ongoing basis, taking into account the impact of the liquidation and payments on this account on court judgments and will shape the amount of reserves accordingly.

The total amount of the provision as at 31 March 2025 amounted PLN 71 million.

Liability claims

The Bank is the defendant in 1 collective action brought by a natural person - a representative of a group of 320 natural and legal persons, for determination of the Bank's liability for damage and in 3 individual cases for establishing the Bank's liability for damage.

The class action was filed on 5 March 2018 against the Bank to determine the Bank's liability for damage caused by the Bank's improper performance of disclosure obligations towards customers and the improper performance of contracts for the provision of services for accepting and transmitting orders to purchase or sell Fund investment certificates. The court decided to hear the case in group proceedings.

On 8 March 2023, the District Court in Warsaw issued a decision to determine the composition of the group. As at the date of this report, this decision is invalid. The value of the subject of the extended claim amounts to approx. PLN 103.9 million. The lawsuits were filed to establish liability (not for payment, i.e. compensation for damage), therefore the Bank does not anticipate any outflow of cash from these proceedings, other than litigation costs, the amount of which the Bank estimates at PLN 600 thousand.

Court proceedings of FX mortgage loans

As at 31 March 2025, there were 184 court proceedings pending against the Bank (as at 31 December 2024: 168) concerning mortgage loans granted in previous years in foreign currencies with a total value of the subject matter of the dispute of PLN 162 million (as of 31 December 2024: PLN 149 million).

The main cause of the dispute indicated by the plaintiffs concerns the questioning of the provisions of the loan agreement regarding the Bank's use of conversion rates and results in claims for the partial or total invalidity of the loan agreements.

The Bank monitors the state of court decisions on an ongoing basis in cases of loans indexed or denominated in a foreign currency in terms of the formation and possible changes in the lines of case law.

The table below presents the cumulative costs of legal risk of FX mortgage loans (in MPLN).

Court proceedings regarding free credit sanction

The banking sector is facing the problem of the growing number of lawsuits filed by consumers or specialized entities purchasing receivables from consumers, covering the reimbursement of consumer credit costs due to defects in the consumer credit agreement. The basic objection of the plaintiffs, present in all cases, is the allegation of the lack of possibility of crediting and charging interest (capital interest) on credit costs, in particular the arrangement fee.

On 13 February 2025, the CJEU issued a judgment based on preliminary questions from a Polish court regarding the sanction of a free loan. The theses of the judgment are as follows:

  • firstly, the CJEU did not rule that the interest rate on credited costs is inadmissible, according to the CJEU, the circumstance according to which the APR would turn out to be excessive does not in itself constitute a breach of the information obligation,
  • secondly, the CJEU stated that it is for the national court to assess to what extent the average consumer - properly informed and sufficiently observant and prudent - was able to assess, on the basis of the terms of the contract regarding the change of fees, how the amount of his obligation may change,
  • thirdly, the Court emphasized that the severity of the sanction provided for in national law should be adequate to the gravity of the infringements and the general principle of proportionality, which results from EU law, should be observed (paragraph 49 of the judgment).

In addition, the CJEU confirmed that the sanction of free credit may be considered disproportionate if the breach of information obligations does not affect the consumer's decision to conclude the contract. The CJEU also confirmed that the sanction of free credit cannot be applied automatically, it is up to the national court to assess the gravity of the breached obligations by the creditor and their impact on the consumer's decision to conclude the contract.

In the Bank's opinion, the CJEU judgment confirms the Bank's previous position that crediting credit costs, in particular commissions, is permissible, even if deemed inadmissible (regardless of the type of sanction), and does not result in a free credit sanction. The Bank assesses that the CJEU judgment is beneficial for the sector and as such will not negatively affect the previous national case law.

As at 31 March 2025, there were pending 2990 court proceedings against the Bank regarding the sanction of a free loan with the value of the subject matter of the dispute amounting PLN 128.4 million (as at 31 December 2024, 2746 proceedings with the value of the subject matter of the dispute amounting PLN 115.1 million). These proceedings are mainly initiated by customers or entities that have purchased receivables from customers and concern the provisions of cash loan agreements.

The total amount of the provision for this reason as at 31 March 2025 amounts to PLN 53 million and includes both the provision for currently pending disputes and the future inflow of disputes assumed by the Bank.

33 Contigent liability

The Group presents below a description of the most important proceedings conducted against the Group as at 31 March 2025, which constitute contingent liabilities.

The total value of the subject matter of the disputed claims as at 31 March 2025 in court proceedings conducted against the Group amounted in PLN 1 035 733 thousand and as at 31 December 2024, PLN 971 024 thousand.

Case claimed by a client

Case claimed by a limited company for a payment of PLN 109 967 thousand in respect of compensation for damage incurred in connection with the conclusion and settlement of treasury transactions. The claim dated 27 April 2017 was brouhgt against Alior Bank SA and Bank BPH SA. In the Bank's opinion, the claim has no valid factual and legal basis therefore, the Bank did not create a provision as at 31 March 2025.

Proceedings before the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK)

Proceeding on provisions of recognizing a standard contract as illegal, the so-called modification clauses

On 27 September 2019, the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) initiated ex officio proceeding against Alior Bank SA to recognize a standard contract as illegal (reference number RPZ.611.4.2019.PG) the subject of which is 11 clauses (the so-called modification clauses) included in contract templates used by the Bank, on the basis of which the Bank made unilateral changes to contracts concluded with consumers. The President of UOKiK questioned the wording of the provisions in question, among others as imprecise and not allowing consumers to verify the occurrence of premises for the change being made. The Bank corresponds with the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection in this case. The Bank presented to the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection a plan to remove the ongoing effects of the breach from contracts with customers. In a letter dated 27 January 2025, the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection decided to extend the deadline for completing the proceedings until 30 June 2025. As at 31 March 2025, the Bank did not identify any reasons to create a provision because, in the Bank's opinion, an outflow of cash in this respect is unlikely. At the same time, the Bank is unable to make a reliable estimate of the value of the contingent liability in this respect due to the inability to estimate the potential consequences of the violation and the amount of the potential penalty that may be imposed by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection. The maximum amount of the financial penalty is 10% of the Bank's turnover achieved in the financial year preceding the year in which the penalty was imposed.

Proceeding regarding practices violating the collective interests of consumers regarding unauthorized payment transactions

The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection is conducting proceedings against the Bank regarding practices violating the collective interests of consumers (reference number: RWR.610.3.2024.KŚ) consisting of:

  • failure after the consumer reports the transaction as unauthorized to refund the amount of the unauthorized payment transaction or restore the debited payment account to the state that would have existed if the unauthorized payment transaction had not taken place in the manner and within the time limit specified in Art. 46 section 1 of the Act on Payment Services, despite the absence of any grounds entitling the Bank not to perform the above-mentioned. activities,
  • making a conditional refund to a consumer who is a client of the Bank of the payment transaction amount reported by the consumer as unauthorized, only for the time the Bank considers the complaint, and then, if the Bank finds in the complaint procedure that the transaction was authorized by the consumer or, that the consumer is liable for an unauthorized payment transaction, withdrawing a conditional refund and withdrawing this amount from the consumer's savings and current account or credit card account, excluding situations in which this amount was simultaneously returned to the consumer as part of a chargeback or the consumer withdrawn the claim,
  • providing consumers in responses to their reports regarding the occurrence of unauthorized payment transactions - with information about the correct authorization of the transaction, which was confirmed only after the payment service provider verified the correct use of the payment instrument, by using individual authentication data in a way that suggests that the Bank's demonstration that correct authentication has occurred excludes the Bank's obligation to refund the amount of the unauthorized transaction, which may mislead consumers regarding the Bank's obligations under Art. 46 section 1 of the Payment Services Act, as well as regarding the distribution of the burden of proving that the payment transaction has been authorized,
  • providing consumers in responses to their reports regarding unauthorized payment transactions with information about the correct authentication of the transaction by the user and the Bank's lack of responsibility for its execution, as it occurred as a result of the consumer's breach of the terms of the contract with the Bank, which may mislead consumers into error regarding the Bank's obligations under Art. 46 section 1 of the Payment Services Act, including the distribution of the burden of proof to the extent that the Bank should demonstrate that the consumer led to the disputed transaction as a result of an intentional or grossly negligent breach of at least one of the obligations referred to in Art. 42 of the Payment Services Act,
  • providing consumers in responses to their reports regarding the occurrence of unauthorized payment transactions - with information about the inability to consider card transactions reported after 120 days from the date of the transaction as unauthorized payment transactions and the inability to complain about more than 15 transactions,

  • which, in the opinion of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, may harm the collective interests of consumers and, consequently, constitute practices violating the collective interests of consumers referred to in the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection. The maximum amount of the financial penalty is 10% of the Bank's turnover achieved in the financial year preceding the year in which the penalty was imposed.

As at 31 March 2025, the Bank did not create provisions in this respect.

Proceedings regarding practices violating collective consumer interests are currently pending against 15 other banks whose practices were verified in explanatory proceedings similar to those conducted against the Bank.

In a letter dated 29 March 2024, the Bank responded in detail to the above allegations. In further correspondence (letters dated 31 October 2024, 6 December 2024 and 5 February 2025) the Bank, in response to the expectations of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, presented a preliminary proposal to undertake specific actions aimed at ending the infringement of which the Bank is accused and removing its effects.

As at 31.03.2025, the value of complaints regarding unauthorized transactions that were rejected by the Bank, contrary to the position of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, amounts to approximately PLN 50 million. In the Bank's opinion, the above-mentioned complaints rejected so far, if they are to be recognized as part of the performance of a potential obligation in the proceedings of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, may then be partially recovered in court. The provision in this respect as at 31.03.2025 amounts to PLN 9.8 million.

Proceedings in the case of recognizing the provisions of the model agreement regarding the change of interest rates on bank accounts as prohibited

On 03.02.2025, the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection issued a decision to initiate proceedings against Alior Bank SA in the case of recognizing the provisions of the model agreement as prohibited (reference number RŁO-2.611.1.2025.PG), the subject of which is the clause on the change of interest rates on bank accounts. The President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection questioned the wording of the provisions of paragraph 11, sections 9 and 10 of the model agreement "Regulations for savings and settlement accounts, savings and fixed-term savings deposits", among others, as giving the Bank too much freedom in terms of the rights to change the interest rate and not allowing consumers to independently check whether the change in interest rate is in accordance with the agreement. As at 31 March 2025, the Bank did not identify any reasons to create a provision because, in the Bank's opinion, an outflow of cash in this respect is unlikely. At the same time, the Bank is unable to make a reliable estimate of the value of the contingent liability in this respect due to the inability to estimate the potential consequences of the violation and the amount of the potential penalty that may be imposed by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection. The maximum amount of the financial penalty is 10% of the Bank's turnover achieved in the financial year preceding the year in which the penalty was imposed.

Affairs related to the operation of Alior Bank SA's subsidiaries

In December 2021, the Bank and the leasing company received another (new) summons from the former members of the Management Board of Alior Leasing to an ad hoc arbitration court under the management program; the summons was based on the same factual and legal circumstances as the previous ones. On 1 March 2024, the Bank received a partial award in an ad hoc arbitration case between former members of the Management Board of Alior Leasing and the Bank and the leasing company, dismissing claims under the management program in full. The partial judgment ends the substantive proceedings. Final judgment awarding in favor of the Bank and Alior Leasing Sp. z o. o. from the plaintiffs, the refund was due on 29 April 2024. On 10 June 2024, the Bank and Alior Leasing Sp. z o. o. received information from the Court of Appeal in Warsaw that a complaint was registered to set aside the arbitration award, filed by former members of the Management Board of Alior Leasing Sp. z o. o. The Bank submitted a response to the complaint in question in due time.

Alior Leasing sp. z o.o identifies the possibility of claims by external entities in connection with the activities of some former employees and associates of the company. As at the date of this financial statements, claims in this respect were not reported. In the Group's opinion, there are no circumstances justifying the creation of a provision on this account.

Until the date of publication of this report, the General Meeting of Alior Bank Spółka Akcyjna has not adopted a resolution on the distribution of profit for 2024.

37 Risk management

Risk management is one of the major processes in Alior Bank SA. Risk management supports Bank's strategy and proper level of business profitability and safety of activities while assuring control of the risk level and its maintenance within the accepted risk appetite and limit system in the changing macroeconomic and legal environment. The supreme objective of the risk management policy is to ensure early detection and adequate management of all kinds of risk inherent to the pursued activity.

The Group isolated the following types of risks resulting from the operations conducted:

  • market risk including interest rate risk and the FX risk
  • liquidity risk
  • credit risk
  • operational risk

The detailed risk management policies have been presented in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Alior Bank SA Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 published on 4 March 2025 and available on the Alior Bank SA website.

Liquidity risk

In the first quarter of 2025, the liquidity of the Alior Bank SA Capital Group remained at a safe level. The liquidity situation was closely monitored and maintained at a level adequate to the needs by adjusting the level of the deposit base and obtaining additional sources of financing through the issue of debt securities depending on the development of credit activity and other liquidity needs, taking into account changing market and macroeconomic conditions.

38 Events significant to the business operations of the Group

Adoption of the Strategy of Alior bank SA Capital Group for 2025-2027

On 24 March 2025, the Strategy of the Alior Bank SA Capital Group for 2025-2027 "Alior Bank. Or nothing" was adopted by the Bank's Management Board and approved by the Bank's Supervisory Board.

Assessment of the impact of the IBOR reform on the Bank's situation

As at 1 January 2018, a new standard for the provision of benchmarks applies in the European Union, the legal basis of which is Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or for measuring the performance of investment funds (hereinafter: BMR regulation, IBOR reform). The main goal of the EU bodies during the work on the IBOR reform was the need to increase consumer protection. In accordance with the IBOR reform, all benchmarks that are the basis for determining interest on loans or the interest rate for various financial instruments must be calculated and applied according to strictly defined rules, so as to avoid suspicion of any fraud. The benchmark according to the IBOR reform, in particular:

  • is to be based primarily on transaction data,
  • is to faithfully reflect the underlying market, the measurement of which is the purpose of the indicator,
  • is to be verifiable by the administrator,
  • is to be resistant to manipulation,
  • it is to be transparent for the recipients of benchmarks.

The Group has undertaken and implemented a number of activities to implement IBOR, i.e .:

  • the contingency plan was amended, which in particular includes a scheme of actions in the event of a significant change or discontinuation of the development of a given benchmark and a list of benchmarks used with their alternatives,
  • priorities for annexing contracts to replace expired indicators were adopted,
  • templates of annexes were prepared and introduced for contracts to which the IBOR relates,
  • the process of annexing the contracts was carried out,
  • an information and reminding campaign aimed at clients was conducted,
  • employee training in the field of IBOR was conducted,
  • the first OIS transactions based on new reference indicators (ESTR, SOFR) were concluded.

The Group monitors the activities of regulators and benchmark administrators, both at the national, European and global level, in terms of benchmarks. The Bank is involved in the work of the National Working Group for WIBOR reform.

The Steering Committee of the National Working Group (KS NGR) decided to select the proposal for an index from the WIRS family with the technical name "WIRF" - based on unsecured deposits of Credit Institutions and Financial Institutions, as the target interest rate reference indicator, which would replace the WIBOR reference indicator. After reviewing the opinions on legal, market and marketing aspects, KS NGR decided on 24 January 2025 to select the target name POLSTR. The administrator of POLSTR - within the meaning of the BMR Regulation will be GPW Benchmark SA, entered in the register of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). Thus, KS NGR verified and modified its previous decision to select WIRON (originally WIRD) based on the premises indicated below, as well as those mentioned in previous NGR communications. The next step of the NGR KS will be to update the Road Map as part of the current schedule of actions aimed at replacing the WIBOR reference index with the POLSTR target index.

In connection with the IBOR reform, the Bank is exposed to the following types of risk:

Legal events

In particular, this applies to the possibility of questioning the applicable provisions in the client's contract with the Bank and the lack of agreement on the application of fallback provisions regarding benchmarks.

Fallback clauses define the action plan that the Bank intends to launch in the event of discontinuation of publication or a significant change in the benchmark.

The reason for questioning the contractual provisions may be, in particular, the difference between the values of the benchmarks. The Bank manages the risks resulting from the IBOR reform by actively annexing the agreements with the Bank's customers. The difference in the levels of reference ratios is mitigated by the bank by applying appropriate adjustment adjustments, eliminating the economic impact of changing the ratio on the contract with the customer.

Interest rate risk

It relates to the mismatch of benchmarks between assets, liabilities and derivatives. The Group manages these risks using the same solutions in individual products, leading to the greatest possible methodological convergence between them.

Additionally, the interest rate risk may materialize, especially with regard to the LIBOR EUR rate, in the form of unsuccessful annexes to contracts with customers. As a result, the rate in the customer contract from the last day of LIBOR EUR validity, from the last revaluation date or at zero is maintained. The Bank reduces this risk by actively encouraging clients to add amendments to their contracts and as part of the ongoing management of exposure to interest rate risk in the banking book.

As at 31 March 2025, the IBOR reform in relation to the currencies to which the Bank has exposures was largely completed; in the sense that, apart from the continuation of the annexation processes, no additional activities are envisaged. It should also be taken into account that for objective reasons (each client would have to agree to the annex), it will never be possible to annex every contract covered by this process. The table below presents the status of transition to new benchmarks according to the IBOR reform.

All new contracts concluded after 31 December 2021 contain appropriate fallback clauses, mitigating the risk related to the discontinuation of publication of benchmarks.

Benchmarks compliant with the BMR are benchmarks that have been approved by the relevant entity defined under the BMR (ESMA register - European Securities and Markets Authority https://www.esma.europa.eu/policy-rules/benchmarks).

As at 31 December 2021, the publication of LIBOR EUR, LIBOR CHF and LIBOR GBP (for most tenors) was suspended. LIBOR GBP was published as a synthetic index until 31.03.2024.

In terms of the synthetic LIBOR USD indicator, the indicator was published until the end of September 2024. As regards the substitute for LIBOR CHF, the Group relies on the Implementing Regulation of the European Commission of 14 October 2021, according to which the replacement for LIBOR CHF are appropriately constructed indicators based on the SARON index.

WIBOR (https://gpwbenchmark.pl/dokumentacja) and EURIBOR (https://www.emmibenchmarks.eu/benchmarks/euribor/) are compliant with the BMR Regulation, the Group will annex contracts based on the WIBOR index due to the need to include fallback clauses in the contracts.

41 Factors which could have an impact on the results in the perspective of the following quarter of the year

The ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine, in the context of geopolitical tensions and volatility on financial markets, remains one of the most important factors of uncertainty in the coming periods. However, in the last year, the armed conflict in Ukraine did not escalate and extreme scenarios regarding warfare did not materialize, which is why financial markets did not feel the increased effects of the war in Ukraine. In economic terms, the main effects of the war concern disruptions in trade related to both the conflict itself and the imposed sanctions. Although the beginning of 2025 brings more and more hope for peace beyond the eastern border, its costs may be high for Ukraine. This makes it difficult to predict all the implications of a potential ceasefire and their impact on Polish interests in the region. Another element is the stability of the energy system, especially in relation to the European Union and Poland, which, on the one hand, depend on supplies of raw materials such as oil and gas. On the other hand, the share of imports of these raw materials from Russia has significantly decreased since the outbreak of the war. It is also worth emphasizing the issue of security in the region. As a result, the risks associated with the war in Ukraine for both the global and domestic economy have materialized to the greatest extent through a significant acceleration in inflation due to more expensive raw materials, food, and disruptions in supply chains. The consequence was increased prices of energy resources. The above-mentioned factors may still be important in 2025, especially in the context of a significant reduction in energy supplies from Russia to the European Union and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

In 2024, the process of slowing down inflation in the world continued. This determined the monetary policy in many countries, including the United States and the eurozone, and led to a rather cautious monetary easing. This meant that the risks of prolonging low global economic activity persisted. Nevertheless, further interest rate cuts are expected in the US and the eurozone until the end of 2025. In Poland, after a 100 bp reduction in the reference rate in 2023, the MPC is currently stabilizing the reference rate at 5.75%. CPI inflation in Poland, after a period of decline within the NBP inflation target in the first half of 2024, has remained at an elevated level since July, mainly due to the partial unfreezing of energy prices, including primarily electricity. We currently expect that the process of interest rate cuts will begin in 2025 and their scale may amount to around 75 bp. This results from lower than expected inflation readings in Q1'25, lower wage pressure, as well as a change in the rhetoric of the chairman and some MPC members in April. The aforementioned communication indicates that the NBP interest rate cuts may begin as early as Q2'25, and the risk to the prospects for the interest rate path is downward. The geopolitical situation affecting commodity prices also remains a risk to the domestic inflation path.

The beginning of 2025 is also associated with the coming to power of a new administration in the USA. This administration announces, and in the first months of 2025 partially implements, a number of changes in the

economic policy of the United States, which have an impact on the global macroeconomic situation and will also affect the Polish economy. In particular, changes in US foreign trade are important, i.e. a significant increase in customs duties on imports to the USA, including imports from the EU, i.e. from Poland. The US decisions have introduced a lot of uncertainty as to the prospects for global international trade and may be a prelude to its significant reconstruction. The final scope and shape of the so-called tariff wars is not yet known, but their initiation is taking place according to a negative scenario and has significantly increased uncertainty as to the prospects for the global economy and significantly increased volatility on the markets, increasing risk aversion.

For the banking sector, on the one hand, the extension of the period of increased inflation and interest rates in Poland may still have a negative impact on lending and valuations of assets held in the balance sheet, although this effect will be limited by the positive impact on interest income. On the other hand, at the turn of 2024/2025, an increase in demand for loans was observed. Additionally, the improvement in the economic situation, together with the still relatively good situation on the labor market and the purchasing power of households (positive dynamics of real wages) will contribute to the improvement of the condition of borrowers and a decrease in credit risk, which should also translate into an increase in demand for loans and a relaxation of credit policy. An additional impulse for lending in subsequent periods will be investments related to the "National Reconstruction Plan", as well as a possible new version of support for borrowers on the mortgage market - "First Keys", which is to support the purchase of the first apartment.

Legal risks related to the portfolio of loans indexed to foreign currencies remain a challenge in the banking sector. The previous case law of the CJEU remains unfavourable for the banking sector. On the one hand, as a result, the banking sector was burdened with the creation of further provisions for legal risk, which contributed to the weakening of the capital positions of banks. On the other hand, the banking sector was prepared for such a judgment and remained stable and resistant to its effects, although in the opinion of the KNF, the judgment had a negative impact on the banks' ability to finance the economy. The analysis of the banks' stock exchange reports shows that the number of cases concerning Swiss franc loans amounted to approx. 117 thousand at the end of 2024, i.e. 9.5% more y/y, while in the last quarter of 2024 the number of active cases decreased by approx. 3 thousand, which may suggest a gradual extinction of the wave of lawsuits. Additionally, banks are actively seeking to conclude settlements with borrowers. Nevertheless, Swiss franc loans remain a significant source of legal and financial risk for Polish banks.

Another challenge in the sector may be the issue of free credit sanctions, which was provided for in the Consumer Credit Act of 2011. Currently, according to ZBP estimates, there are approximately 15,000 cases pending in Polish courts concerning free credit sanctions, with 100-200 of these cases per year in 2021. Polish courts, in view of doubts in these matters, submitted applications with legal questions to the CJEU in order to clarify uniform national case law. On 13 February 2025, the CJEU issued a ruling in the case. This judgment emphasised that Member States may introduce sanctions providing for the complete elimination of credit costs in the event of violations of consumer rights, provided that they comply with the principles of proportionality and effectiveness of consumer protection. In response to the CJEU ruling and the growing number of court cases, the government plans to amend the Consumer Credit Act. However, both the case law of the CJEU and the planned legislative changes indicate the need to balance the interests of consumers and creditors in order to ensure effective protection of consumer rights while maintaining the stability of the financial sector.

Another challenge for the banking sector in Poland is the change in the countercyclical buffer announced in June 2024. In accordance with the regulation of the Minister of Finance of 18 September 2024 on the countercyclical buffer rate, from 25 September 2025, the countercyclical buffer rate will be 1% of the total risk exposure (until then it will be 0%).
