The aim of the article is to combine corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the banking sector with the idea of responsible lending. Because CSR concerns stakeholders and borrowers, it may seem obvious that implementation of the two ideas should be parallel. Yet banks, desspite the implementation of CSR, do not act with the idea of responsible lending. By ignoring responsible lending, sometimes banks do a disservice to their borrowers. Examples of banks operating in Poland provide empirical support for this thesis.
