If I transfer pounds to Poland, which Poland bank pays the most interest? For example, Bank Z pays 0.30% it seems, while some others pay a big fat zero.

Could anyone suggest a PL bank that pays 1% or more gross on GBP?

Merged: British Banks in Poland? (Barclays, LloydsTSB, NatWest, HSBC)

Are there any British high street banks with branches in Poland?
I'm talking Barclays, LloydsTSB, NatWest, HSBC?
Thanks

Of course see the web of HSBC: hsbc.pl/1/2/pol/pl/business
You can change the language on the site on eng.

HSBC does not have a branch network in Poland for personal customers, as far as I know.

Santander Consumer Bank Poland are visible in many streets but you can't easily or at all bank at Polish branches as if they were Santander UK; they don't seem to be able to access Santander UK's database from Poland. I believe they're 2 separate subsidiaries.

In short, no, there are none of the big personal banking UK names here that I can think of. Maybe in Warsaw but not here in Wroclaw. Probably not in Warsaw either.

However, there are some close relationships between UK and Poland banks, especially between Natwest and one of the banks here (PKO BP I think). Ask at Natwest before you leave.
