Investment and Corporate Banking Origination

The Polish branch of Haitong Bank is committed to the development of cooperation between the Bank and corporate and public sector Clients.

The Investment and Corporate Banking Origination team coordinates activities throughout all departments of the Bank to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our services. Our goal is to identify Customers' needs and requirements to provide them with the services that are tailor-made for their business activity. This is achieved by the combination of personalised financial products, with standard solutions, such as loans and guarantees.

Treasury and Fixed Income

The Polish branch of Haitong Bank has a wide range of capital market products, which enables customers to optimise the management of assets and liabilities in both short and long term.

The Bank offers very attractive deposit rates for varied periods. For Clients who prefer other forms of investment we offer certificates of deposit or alternatively corporate bonds. The form of investing in corporate bonds involves increased risk, but in return it also offers much higher interest rate.

We supply our Clients with foreign exchange market instruments, as well as products designed to manage interest rate risk. Derivatives are selected individually for each Client and are tailored to the business needs of the Clients.

The Bank can swiftly and professionally arrange the issue of corporate bonds for companies seeking an alternative source of financing their activities. This form of funds accumulation aids in the diversification of capital sources, in which the investors tend to be financial institutions such as TFI, OFE and insurance companies.
