Law / Opening a Polish Bank Account by a foreigner in Poland. Recommendations. [299]

I thought it was a bit strange,its not as if im even trying to get credit with them,i simply need an account to pay money in and withdraw as required.I think I will try WBK tomorrow as Millenium dont have any branches close enough to where i am.
