Experience
Education
I kicked off my journey with a degree in Management from the University of Economics, then dived into the world of Law and Finance.
Harvard Business School’s Leading with Finance program added another feather to my cap. But let’s be honest, I’m not one for stacking up certificates. From a young age, I’ve been all about learning through hands-on experience, hard graft, and relentless self-improvement.
For me, practice always trumps theory. While I’m eyeing an executive MBA in the U.S. or London to keep pushing my limits, my businesses, sports, and travel adventures are keeping me on my toes for now.
16 Years of Experience & Development
I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the growth of some of the top companies in the industry, working with exceptional people and inspiring entrepreneurs during my early years. As a financing manager, I collaborated with prominent developers like Echo Investment, EKO Park, Elara, among others.
My journey and commitment took me to top brands such as Hamilton May, and for more than 8 years, I’ve been developing my skills as a Head of the Financing Department at Private House Brokers and Property Group Poland. I’ve forged B2B partnerships with fantastic companies around the globe.
Today, I proudly collaborate with Lendi Group as part of Swiss Capital Group. I’m always learning, diving into books, attending trainings, and expanding my knowledge in areas that fascinate me, including economics, the stock market, leadership, law, psychology, and management. My passion for these subjects seamlessly aligns with my business pursuits.
Driven by Passion
By a happy accident, my passions turned into a thriving source of livelihood. I’ve always focused on areas that ignite a deep passion within me, allowing me to immerse myself in developing these fields for countless hours every day, year after year, without ever feeling bored. When I dive into something, I lose myself completely, and the world around me fades away. This intense focus has its pros and cons, as you can imagine, but it’s been a key driver of my development.
Values I Believe in
The core values that steer me in business are honesty, quality, trust, and a meticulous care for reputation. Building and nurturing strong relationships with employees, business partners, and customers is paramount. We weren’t born to work all our lives, but when we do, creating a fantastic atmosphere is essential. For me, the top priority is ensuring the team enjoys what we do and finds satisfaction in our work. When everyone is having fun and feels fulfilled, that’s when we truly succeed.
Privately
In my spare time, you’ll find me sailing the seas, addicted to alpine skiing, mountain biking, kitesurfing, embarking on adventure trips, or strumming my guitars. In short, I do everything I can to connect with nature and feel truly free. I’m always on the move because it keeps me creative and inspired. I cherish every moment with my loved ones. Life is too short and beautiful not to make the most of it. After all, we only get one visit to this incredible world.

Refinancing your mortgage – how to cut your % interest rate and save a lot of money right now?
Refinancing your mortgage (transferring your loan to another bank) can bring significant financial benefits for your wallet!
Remember:
- You do not have to wait until 5 years of your currently signed fixed rate will expire in your current bank. You can refinance your loan literally the day after disbursement of your old loan.
- The whole process, from consultations, analysis, processing the refinancing into a new more profitable bank for you and even supporting you in a bank’s branch – it’s 100% free of charge! You pay us literally nothing, and get precisely 1:1 the same offer as if you would visit for example ING, Millennium, mBank’s etc. branches by yourself. The banks have special marketing funds to reward us from successful transfers. So it’s a full win – win for either you and us.
If you have recently signed a mortgage contract with a fixed interest rate for 5 years, refinancing will help you to take advantage of reducing your high interest % rate, monthly payments and the total cost of the loan. There’s no rocket science – we already helped over a hundred of our clients in 2023/2024 since inflation escalated and bank’s rates went wildly skyrocketing.
Even though this process is fast and simple, it requires analysis and understanding of a few key factors. In the following article, I explain when it is worth considering refinancing your mortgage, how the process works, and what benefits it can bring. If you are considering transferring your loan, this guide is for you!
What mortgage refinancing actually is?
Mortgage refinancing involves transferring an existing loan to another bank to obtain better financial terms. This can include:
- Lowering monthly payments – by renegotiating the loan terms, you can reduce the amount of your monthly payments.
- Extending the loan term – a longer repayment period can lower the monthly payment, which is beneficial for your household budget.
- Reducing the total cost of the loan – lower interest rates or margins can significantly decrease the total cost of the loan.
When should you consider refinancing your mortgage?
Refinancing your mortgage can be beneficial in several key situations:
- Changing market conditions – banks regularly update their offers, which may result in better loan conditions than those in your current agreement.
- Payment difficulties – if your mortgage payment becomes too challenging for your household budget, refinancing can help lower the monthly payment by extending the repayment period.
- Consolidating debts – if you have multiple financial obligations, transferring your mortgage can simplify financial management by consolidating all debts into one loan.
Common reasons for refinancing a mortgage
Borrowers often decide to refinance for the following reasons:
How to transfer a mortgage to another bank?
- High fixed rate signed for 5 years period – If your current mortgage has a high fixed interest rate, refinancing will help you take advantage of lower rates available in the market, reducing your monthly payments and the total cost of the loan. Remember, you do not have to wait until 5 years of signed fixed rate will expire in your current bank. You can refinance your loan literally day after disbursement of your old loan.
- Low own contribution payment when signed the mortgage – the original loan may have been more expensive due to a low own contribution (down payment). Refinancing can provide better terms thanks to improved creditworthiness.
- High margin – the loan margin is a fixed component of the interest rate throughout the loan period. A high margin can be a significant burden on the household budget, so reducing it through refinancing can bring additional savings.
The process of transferring a mortgage consists of several steps:
- Analyze offers with a mortgage expert – compare the available offers from banks, considering all additional costs such as fees and commissions.
- Understand all costs – the mortgage expert will check if the early repayment of the current loan involves additional costs, such as early repayment fees, notary fees, property valuation costs, and court fees.
- Submit a loan application – after selecting a specific offer, the expert will help you submit an application for refinancing at the new bank.
- Repay the debt at the current bank – once the new refinancing loan is granted, the funds from this loan will be used to repay the existing obligation.
What documents are needed to refinance a mortgage?
When transferring a loan to another bank, you need to prepare:
- The loan agreement from the previous bank.
- Documents confirming the current balance of the debt.
- Property-related documents, e.g., an excerpt from the land and mortgage register along with the property valuation.
- Proof of income.
- Bank account statements (e.g., for the last 3-6-12 months).
Costs of refinancing a mortgage
Refinancing costs can include:
- Cost of property valuation – banks vary in their charges for property valuation. Can vary from ~ 350 to 1200 PLN
- Early repayment fee – this may be charged for loans with variable interest rates signed a few years ago and being repaid before a specified time (specified in your contract), however in almost every case it’a round 0% from the day one, especially on fixed 5 years contracts.
- Fee for granting a refinancing loan – in every offer we have, there’s round 0% of entry fee / commission.
- Court fees – related to changes in entries in the land and mortgage register, what we usually help you with. The cost is about ~ 350 PLN to pay at once for administration fee.
To sum up, in 99% of cases we guide our customers through, the total sum of refinancing costs are around 1000 PLN as sum of property valuation and court mortgage fee. It means, usually you benefit and cover that already after first month of way lower installment reduced on the new mortgage you will got. If your old property valuation is not older than 12 months, you probably won’t be able to pay for w new one – depends in the banks where we’ll do the refinance.
Creditworthiness matters
Refinancing a mortgage involves taking out a new loan. Banks will verify the borrower’s repayment history and creditworthiness. Therefore, it is worth acting quickly when problems with repaying the current loan arise.
Is refinancing your mortgage worth it?
Absolutely! Lowering monthly payments, reducing the total cost of the loan, and improving loan terms are just a few potential benefits. Additionally, it is essential to carefully analyze the refinancing of the mortgage considering all costs and benefits. Contact our experts to get professional help and find the best solution for your financial situation.
Remember:
- You do not have to wait until 5 years of your currently signed fixed rate will expire in your current bank. You can refinance your loan literally day after disbursement of your old loan.
- The whole process, from consultations, analysis, processing the refinancing into a new more profitable bank for you and even supporting you in a bank’s branch – it’s 100% free of charge! You pay us literally nothing, and getting anyway precisely 1:1 the same offer like if you would visit for example ING, Millennium, mBank’s etc. branches by yourself. The banks have a special marketing funds to gratificate us from successful transfers. So it’s a full win – win for either you and us.

🎥 🔴 Downpayment Options: 10% vs 20%+ for Mortgage Loans in Poland – Accessibility & Benefits
We have prepared a series of recordings for you.
We want you to come to the meeting with an outline in your head of the area we are going to cover. You will find on our platform videos that address the most important, fundamental issues of taking out a mortgage. Some of them relate more to you when it comes to, for example, the issue of creditworthiness itself, some of them develop other threads, less universal, but they should also be exhausted at the very beginning. We want you to have a certain foundation when coming to the meeting so that it is as productive as possible for you – we respect your time. We invite you to watch and possibly ask questions already at the meeting.
Down Payment Segments
- 10% down payment – having a 10% down payment opens up mortgage opportunities but often comes with stricter conditions and higher costs. Many banks are cautious about lending with a lower down payment due to increased risk. To mitigate this risk, banks may require:
- Low down payment insurance – this can be a separate policy paid upfront or incorporated into the loan margin, which increases the overall cost until the equity reaches 20%.
- Higher margins – banks may offer higher interest rates to compensate for the higher risk associated with lower down payments.
- Limited bank options – not all banks will accept a 10% down payment. Approximately half of the banks in Poland might approve such loans, often with additional conditions.
- 20% down payment and higher – a down payment of 20% or more is considered standard and minimizes the perceived risk for the bank. This generally results in:
- Better loan offers – with a 20% down payment, you are likely to receive better interest rates and terms.
- Compliance with KNF recommendations – the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) recommends a 20% down payment, making it easier to meet bank criteria.
- Flexibility – higher down payments beyond 20% do not significantly change the loan terms but improve your equity and reduce the loan amount needed.
Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV)
LTV is a critical factor in mortgage lending. It represents the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the property:
- Example calculation – if the property value is PLN 1,000,000 and you have a 20% down payment, you can borrow up to PLN 800,000, resulting in an LTV of 80%. For a 10% down payment, you can borrow up to PLN 900,000, resulting in an LTV of 90%.
- Impact on loan approval – lower LTV ratios (higher down payments) are preferable as they reduce the bank’s risk. Higher LTV ratios (lower down payments) may require additional measures like insurance.
Refinancing and LTV Adjustments
Changes in property value and loan repayments can adjust your LTV ratio:
Repayments and overpayments – making regular repayments or additional overpayments reduces the loan amount, thereby decreasing the LTV ratio. For example, paying down the principal amount can shift your LTV from 90% to 80%.
Increasing property value – if the property value increases over time, your LTV ratio decreases, improving your loan conditions. For instance, if the property value rises due to market conditions, the increased equity can lower your LTV ratio.
Why you should consult your situation with our experts?

We want you to come to the meeting with an outline in your head of the area we are going to cover. You will find on our platform videos that address the most important, fundamental issues of taking out a mortgage.

We want you to have a certain foundation when coming to the meeting so that it is as productive as possible for you – we respect your time. We invite you to watch and possibly ask questions already at the meeting.
Bank Margins
Bank margins are a significant part of the mortgage interest rate. This is essentially the profit that the bank aims to make on the loan they provide. Here’s what you need to know about bank margins:
- Fixed vs. Variable Margins – some banks offer fixed margins, meaning the margin remains the same throughout the loan term. Others offer variable margins that can change based on market conditions or your credit profile.
- Risk – the bank adds a risk bonus to the interest rate based on creditworthiness, employment stability and other risk factors. Higher perceived risk results in a higher margin.
Reference Rates
Reference rates, also known as base rates, are another crucial element in determining mortgage interest rates. In Poland, the most common reference rates are the WIBOR (Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate) for loans in PLN, and EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) for loans in EUR. Here’s how they work:
- WIBOR – this is the rate at which banks lend to each other in the Polish market. It fluctuates based on supply and demand for funds and is influenced by monetary policy and economic conditions.
- EURIBOR – this rate applies to loans denominated in euros and is influenced by the European Central Bank’s monetary policy and broader economic conditions in the Eurozone.
- Impact on Mortgages – your mortgage interest rate is often expressed as the reference rate plus the bank’s margin. For example, if the WIBOR is 1.5% and the bank’s margin is 2%, your mortgage interest rate will be 3.5%.
The Economy in Poland
The broader economic context in Poland also plays a significant role in shaping mortgage interest rates. Here’s how various economic factors come into play:
- Inflation – higher inflation typically leads to higher interest rates as the central bank raises rates to control inflation. Conversely, lower inflation can result in lower interest rates.
- Monetary Policy – the National Bank of Poland (NBP) sets the base interest rates for the economy. Changes in the NBP’s policy rates directly influence the reference rates like WIBOR.
- Economic Growth – strong economic growth can lead to higher interest rates as demand for credit increases and the central bank acts to prevent the economy from overheating. In contrast, slower growth or a recession can lead to lower interest rates as the central bank aims to stimulate borrowing and investment.
- International Influences: Global economic conditions and policies of major central banks (like the ECB and the Federal Reserve) can also impact Polish interest rates, particularly if there are significant movements in global interest rates or economic trends.

Why mortgage loan rankings can vary?
Mortgage loan rankings can differ for several key reasons. Each bank offers different terms, promotions, and has an individual approach to customers. Various rankings may take into account different factors such as:
- Insurance costs
- Fees and additional charges
- Repayment flexibility
- Promotions and bonuses for new customers
The list is based on the assumption of a 25-year mortgage loan for the amount of 700,000 PLN with a 30% down payment. However, every financial situation is unique, and the final offer from the bank may vary depending on individual conditions and needs.
Why you should consult your situation with our experts?
Every financial situation is unique, which is why an individual approach to choosing a mortgage loan is so important. The assumptions are only a simulation, and your conditions may differ. That’s why I encourage you to contact our Expert Team who will:
- Analyze your individual financial situation
- Find the best loan offers available on the market

Mortgage for foreigners in Poland – complete guide
Thinking about buying property in Poland as a foreigner? Learn how to obtain a mortgage, what the requirements are, and what documents you will need!
Conditions for obtaining a mortgage for foreigners in Poland
PESEL number and registration:
To apply for a mortgage, a foreigner must have a PESEL number and be registered in Poland. Although the registration obligation was abolished on January 1, 2016, confirming residence in Poland is still important.
Creditworthiness:
- Employment form – those with an employment contract for an indefinite period have the best chances of getting a mortgage.
- Financial situation – banks assess the applicant’s income compared to monthly expenses to ensure they can repay the loan.
- Credit history – a good credit history without any overdue payments is crucial. Banks check the credit history in Poland and the applicant’s home country.
- Personal situation – age, number of dependents, marital status, and education are considered when assessing creditworthiness.
Residence Card and Other Documents:
- Residence card – a valid temporary or permanent residence card or EU resident status is required. Banks have different requirements regarding the validity period of the card.
- Identity document (e.g., passport).
- Employment and income certificate – a certificate from the employer and a PIT return for the previous year.
- Bank account statement – confirming the income.
- Documents related to the mortgaged property.
Mortgage and down payment requirements
According to Recommendation S issued by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), banks can finance up to 80% of the property’s value. In exceptional cases, financing up to 90% is possible, but the excess must be additionally secured (e.g., low down payment insurance, bank account fund block, pledge on government bonds).
Mortgage without a residence card – is it possible?
It is now possible to obtain a mortgage without a residence card from one of the banks that accepts the PESEL number as a sufficient identity document.
How do banks assess the creditworthiness of foreigners?
Banks assess creditworthiness by verifying identity and income sources. The credit history is checked in Poland (BIK) and the applicant’s home country (e.g., International Bureau of Credit Histories).
Documents required for a mortgage for foreigners
- Copy of the identity document (not always).
- Employment and income certificate.
- PIT return for the previous year.
- Bank account statement confirming income.
- Documents related to the mortgaged property.
- All documents must be translated into Polish by a sworn translator.
- Waiting time for a mortgage decision
The bank has 21 days to issue a mortgage decision from the date of submitting a complete application. The average waiting time for a decision is about 2 weeks.
