History

The Bank was established in 2003 by taking over Look Finansowanie Inwestycji, controlled by Mariusz Łukasiewicz, a controlling stake existing since 1990 from Bank Społem S.A.[1] In 2003, Bank Społem S.A. changed its name to Euro Bank S.A.[2]

After the founder's death in 2004, the Société Générale Group became the owner of Eurobank.

On November 5, 2018, Bank Millennium and Société Générale signed a contract for the purchase of Euro Bank by Bank Millennium.[3] The subject of the transaction is the acquisition by Bank Millennium of approximately 99.79% of shares in Euro Bank for a reference price of PLN 1,833 million.[4] The strategical investor of the bank is Banco Comercial Português (BCP).

Eurobank ran numerous advertising campaigns in which appeared, among others, Krystyna Janda[5], Danuta Stenka[6], Janusz Gajos[7], Tomasz Kot[8] Katarzyna Figura[9] and Piotr Adamczyk[10].
