Summary/Abstract: This empirical article is an attempt to assess the impact of the degree of development of assimilative capacity in Poland’s financial companies on the level of their innovativeness achieved as a result of the absorption of technological innovations. It can be expected that these capacities are not only used to learn and adapt absorbed technological innovations, but also to increase the degree of their uniqueness and innovativeness obtained due to their effects. When analysing the correlation of variables estimated in the questionnaire, a strong relationship was found between the degree of development of the assimilative capacity of financial companies and the scale of changes achieved in applied technologies, on-going business processes and the generated market offer as a result of absorbed technological innovations.
