SK&S represented ING Bank Śląski S.A. in obtaining a permit from the FSA to create a mortgage bank.
On 16 January 2018 the FSA unanimously permitted the creation of a mortgage bank by ING Bank Śląski and approved the statute and composition of the first management board of the new bank. SK&S advises the Bank on regulation and tax issues linked to the creation and start-up of the mortgage bank and represented the Bank in the proceedings before the FSA which have just ended.
As emphasized by Mirosław Boda, the future President of the Management Board of ING Bank Hipoteczny S.A., the law firm’s team played a significant role in the speedy and efficient obtaining of the permit, which is a key stage in creating a new bank.
