<p>The last few years have seen a large number of Polish immigrants flocking to the UK, with West London in particular emerging as a thriving district for Polish entrepreneurs. With over 600,000 Polish immigrants now firmly established in the UK, the Polish Business Units (PBU) located in Ealing, Hammersmith and Kensington, West London, will specifically target entrepreneurs from this rapidly growing sector of the population.<br /><br />We're tailoring our commercial services to the diverse needs of companies and communities in the 21st Century by offering a dedicated Polish business unit, said Alan Keir, global co-head of commercial banking at HSBC. It's a unique development in the banking industry; meeting the specific needs of Polish businesses in Britain who need a bank who can, quite literally, speak their language and make UK banking accessible to them. We believe our new unit will help the Polish business community to grow and prosper in the UK.<br /><br />Facilities accessible through the unit include Polish speaking commercial relationship managers offering a wide range of commercial banking services to Polish customers; 'WorldPay,' a service that allows Polish businesses and personal customers to send funds up to GBP2,000 back to Poland for GBP9 per payment, and electronic and telephone banking that provides a 24- hour customer support service.</p>
