The Polish PKO bank held a job fair in the meta-universe

PKO Bank Polski arranged an event in the virtual world for beginners and professionals who are ready to learn about the bank’s activities and apply for a specific job. This is the first event of its kind in Poland and one of the first in the world.

The most active participants had the opportunity to sign up for a personal interview with PKO recruiters. On the eve of the event, bank representative Katarzyna Motelska explained that the company is constantly looking for new forms of contact with candidates. And the previous experience in the world of meta-universes “has been very positive.”

PKO wants to expand its presence in decentralized metaworlds such as Decentraland and The Sandbox. The bank is looking to build VR models of its branches to enhance the ability to transact in the virtual world.

PKO Bank Polski is the leader in mobile banking in Poland, serving nearly 12 million customers, including through the IKO mobile app, which has been activated 7.4 million times.

Many banks are actively exploring the possibilities of metasites. Fidelity Investments and HSBC Bank filed trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in late 2022 for trademarks related to NFT, meta universes and Web3;

Japan’s largest bank, MUFG, which manages $3.3 trillion in assets, opened a unit in the metaverse last year to attract a younger audience and introduce them to the bank.
