Santander Bank Polska stock (ISIN PLBZ00000044) was trading at EUR 181.53 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 1:11 p.m. CEST, down 1.45 percent versus the prior close of EUR 184.20.

Regulatory capital takes center stage

The Financial Stability Committee supported a buffer of 1.00 percent of the bank's total risk exposure amount. The decision followed a request from the Polish Financial Supervision Authority and gives investors a concrete regulatory marker as the institution operates under the Erste brand.

The Warsaw Stock Exchange identifies PLBZ00000044 as the former Santander Bank Polska listing and says the company name changed to Erste Bank Polska on April 28, 2026. The security trades on GPW under the SPL.WA ticker, according to GPW.

Second-quarter profit rose 14.00 percent

The latest operating picture comes from the first half of 2026. In an earnings-call transcript dated July 30, 2026, Yahoo Finance reported management's net profit figure of PLN 2.20 billion for the first half and PLN 1.17 billion for the second quarter, up 14.00 percent year over year.

Total income reached PLN 8.05 billion in the first half of 2026, up 1.00 percent year over year, while net fee income rose 5.00 percent to PLN 1.54 billion. The comparison matters because net interest income fell 3.00 percent year over year to PLN 6.16 billion as interest rates declined.

Management also cited PLN 175.00 million of rebranding costs and PLN 107.00 million of integration costs in the first half. Those charges show why reported profit growth needs to be read alongside the bank's transition from Santander Bank Polska to Erste Bank Polska.
