GDANSK, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Poland's ING Bank Slaski
 INGP.WA  has started consultations with Polish financial
regulator KNF on dividend payments for previous years, Deputy
CEO Bozena Graczyk said in a press conference on Thursday.  
    "We are waiting for the results of these consultations,"
Graczyk said.
    The lender's shareholders decided in April to allocate 513.9
million zlotys ($123 million) as reserve capital intended for
dividend payouts after management recommended withholding such
payments. 
    The bank has said it would consider paying an advance on its
2023 dividend should no significant risk materialise. 
    ($1 = 4.1938 zlotys)
