==Overview==
Bank BDK was one of nine banks spun off in the late 1980s from the National Bank of Poland, the culmination of a sequence of reforms during the 1980s that brought an end to the country's single-tier banking system.<ref name=ChicagoFed>{{citation |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23529685_Banking_reform_in_a_transition_economy_The_case_of_Poland |title=Banking reform in a transition economy: The case of Poland |date=February 1997 |author=Thomas Smith Mondschean & Timothy Opiela |publisher=Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago}}</ref>{{rp|18}}
