Nov 4 (Reuters) - Poland's Alior Bank (ALRR.WA) plans to join the fast growing digital payments market at the turn of the year with Alior Pay, a key part of a two year strategy to be announced in early 2023, CEO Grzegorz Olszewski said on Friday. The bank did not give details of the new service, which it announced alongside a third-quarter net loss of 62.6 million zlotys ($13.1 million). That compared with a profit of 150.4 million zlotys a year earlier, and was due in part to the payment holidays enacted by Poland's government to help borrowers cope with higher interest rates. Despite a deteriorating economic backdrop, Alior said it did not expect its 2022 cost of risk - money set aside against risky loans - would exceed last year's 1.6%.
