We support Ukraine and Ukrainians

We support Ukraine and Ukrainians

We support the aid organised for Ukraine by Caritas, Polish Humanitarian Action (PAH) Polish Red Cross (PCK) and Foundation "Ocalenie". The Bank transferred to each of these organisations the amount of 100,000 PLN for long-term support of Ukrainian people who found themselves in a difficult situation as a result of the war.

You can help too! You can make a transfer directly to these organizations' accounts in our bank:



The Bank Millennium Foundation has launched a special edition of the #sluchaMYwspieraMY grant programme for Ukrainian citizens, in which employees of the Bank Millennium Group can implement their own social initiatives and help refugees from Ukraine in their local community.

Our employees use their ideas, observations and experiences, and unite to organize support for people who, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, lost their homes, families and came to Poland.

The project will run until 31.05.2022 and may be extended.

Helping Ukraine? Choose verified collections

When others join forces to help, scammers waste no time and take advantage of our good intentions.

  • Before you donate money, check the official website of the organization to see if it runs a collection. Compare the information and account numbers.
  • If you make transfers to private recipients - send money to those you really know, do not copy account numbers from social media.
  • Use verified payment methods and avoid those you don't know.
  • Don't give others information about fundraising that you can't verify.
  • Don't fall for phone calls from purported uniformed services that "extort" you to donate money.
  • Don't click on links in e-mails and text messages.
  • Don't give out your account or e-mail passwords or payment card details to anyone or enter them on unverified websites.
  • Only log into your bank account on our website or through our mobile app.
  • Update the operating system and anti-virus software on the devices you use.

If you suspect an attempted crime or if you have been defrauded in this way, inform us and report it to the police.
