WARSAW, Poland, May 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — PKO Bank Polski, the largest universal bank in Central and Eastern Europe, is accelerating its expansion into virtual worlds. Already on May 30, at its Virtual PKO Rotunda on the Decentraland platform, it will also hold one of the world’s first virtual job fairs in the Metaverse space.
The bank has announced that it is preparing to create attractive spaces on gaming platforms such as Fortnite and Roblox and wants to develop its activity on the Metaverse-class platforms – Decentraland and The Sandbox. It also plans to build more VR models of its branches.
“Our previous experience of being in the Metaverse world has been very positive. The Virtual PKO Rotunda integrated into the Decentraland platform still acts as a digital laboratory, but we are getting to the point where it is too small for us. We have made a decision to increase our presence in the Metaverse and accelerate the knowledge creation process,” Katarzyna Dziwulska, CEO of PKO Bank Polski’s Digital Strategy and Transformation Division, was quoted as saying in the statement.
According to PKO Bank Polski, it is looking for companies with the right technological expertise to collaborate on the creation and maintenance of virtual spaces and game design on Metaverse-class gaming platforms.
“We have decided, as a next step, to work more closely with external companies that will support us in our design work. This model will allow us to simultaneously develop on various gaming platforms such as Fortnite or Roblox, as well as metaverse platforms such as The Sandbox, where we want to create attractive and interesting virtual spaces for users. We invite all interested companies to contact us via metaverse.pkobp.pl,” said Marek Myszka, Director of the Innovation Office at PKO Bank Polski.
