Story
Bankier is Wroclaw's most plugged-in financial gnome, always on top of the latest market news with his laptop open and figures running across the screen. Sponsored by Bankier.pl — one of Poland's leading financial news portals — he embodies the brand's two-decade relationship with Wroclaw, where the editorial office has been based since the very beginning. Fellow dwarfs say he knows the exchange rate before the banks do.
History & Significance
Bankier was created to mark the 20th anniversary of Bankier.pl, a major Polish financial portal headquartered in Wroclaw. The portal organised a public competition inviting readers to design the dwarf's look and character, emphasising his connection with finance, technology, and the city. He joined the Wroclaw dwarf family as a celebration of Bankier.pl's deep roots in Lower Silesia's capital.
