Rymarz Zdort has advised Poland's Bank Guarantee Fund on the resolution process of the Getin Noble Bank.
"The resolution process was implemented due to the threat of the bankruptcy of GNB," Rymarz Zdort informed. "As part of the resolution and in order to ensure uninterrupted service to customers, a selected business of GNB was transferred to a bridge institution, Bank BFG S.A. controlled by the BFG.
