On October 20 2023, former Polish president Andrzej Duda was appointed to the supervisory board of fintech ZEN.COM and announced plans to pursue advisory and think‑tank roles.
Duda Joins ZEN.COM Supervisory Board
On Monday, 20 October, media reported that former president Andrzej Duda became a member of the supervisory board of ZEN.COM, the Polish fintech dubbed the “Polish Revolut” founded in 2018 in Rzeszów by Dawid Rożk. The company offers payment solutions for individual and business clients and holds licences in the EU (Lithuania), the UK (FCA) and Singapore (MAS). Duda will help the firm establish contacts with international institutions and strategic partners in markets the company wishes to enter.
Duda on Future Roles and Retirement Plans
In an interview with Pulse Business, Duda said he is 53 and does not yet consider retirement. He wishes to use his experience to support the development of technology and innovation that have a positive impact on the economy. He also made clear that he will not pursue a premiership, stating that it would first need specific conditions and genuine demand. Duda sees two main potential fields for his future activity: an advisory supervisory role on various boards, and the establishment of a former‑president office in Kraków (with a planned expansion to Warsaw) and a think‑tank to serve as a policy‑consultation arm on Poland’s development and the continuation of the Tri‑Sea initiative.
Presidential Pension and Protection
On 6 August 2025, after a decade in office, Andrzej Duda ended his term as president of the Republic of Poland. He is entitled to state security protection, a lifetime pension, and a vehicle safeguard. His pension is calculated at 75 % of the basic salary of the former president, amounting to about 18,500 złoty gross per month and roughly 13,700 złoty net each month.
