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

Thread attached on merging:
The Best Bank for Ex-Pats

Hi Guys...

Ok I have been with Bank Pekao SA for the last 5 months......and I've had enough...way too many problems to list here...but for example

Crap customer service...
Terrible internet service
6zl charge for taking money out of other cash machines..
No Call backs
7 days to recieve money from my English bank account
A crappy ''meastro'' debit card which is hardly accepted on line

I make pretty good money...better than I did in England...I brought a bit of my savings over due to the weak Zloty (Advice from an English accountant)...yet they bank don't seem to give a shit...£40,000!!! ......if as expected the Zloty goes back up I should make enough for a new car!

So..I'm changing.....I will choose the bank recommended most on here...If I can't trust you guys who can I trust!

Cheers

I meant to post this in the Life in Poland section!!...damn...I'm sure a kind mod will move it for me!...cheers

No I can't do that ...I promised my stunning girlfriend I would give it a go here.

Sure I could take the cowards way out and return to England..I have a house there..my family...friends..and all the above mentioned!...

But i actually do like and somewhat love this country!....In my 1st terrifying week i was invited to various grills....a wedding.....and to a football party...which actually was terrifying once Germany scored their 1st goal!

I only started this thread as a bit of fun...as I was feeling a lil homesick....its totally natural to want..or need things from back home..it don't mean I have to go back!

Also...the amount of 'Polish Skleps'....or 'Polish Restaurants' in England...especially in Bournemouth proves that Poles also miss home...need a reminder of home...and like what they like!....at a club in Bournemouth i organized a 'Polish Party'...for Polish people...(my girlfriend made me do it!)....so during research I asked Polish people what they would like.......Polish Vodka...Polish music.....Polish food....POLISH PEOPLE!!!...They like I missed home...a lil reminder of home is natural.

The party was a great success...even for the 300 people who were unfortunately left outside due to the club being full to capacity!....oh btw...thank god for the Polish and their drinking culture!!...as I was on 10% bar sales commission I made a killing!

here are lots in Warsaw. Arti, Namaste, Ganesh, Arti Clay oven, new Arti opening soon.

I have been to a couple ....I think they are waaay over priced.....the nan breads are well not authentic....the onion bhagi's are onion rings!!...and nooooooooooo lamb!

but imma sure look out for the decent steaks.....

the trains run at a 79% on time rate....not bad...but not great...ad you can't take the train to the local carrefour!!

lol at cheap skate!...I had sky installed last week..thank god!

The local beverly hills had no recent movies...dvd's were in terrible condition

the so called art of queuing here is to get to the front as quickly as possible, trample on whoever...and be as selfish as possible!

These are just minor things.....overall great country...with huge potential!

You can love this country with all your heart....it still don't mean that it couldn't be improved in some little way...

I love it here....but a few lil home treats will simply make me love it more....Bistro Gravy and yorkshire puddings for example!....oh and stella....did I mention that already!

GoDfaTheR420: The police don't fuck about!...yeah cos they haven't the intelligence...they act like cavemen!

LOL - been kicked about have we??? you probably deserved it, I found the Police and the Security in Poland to be quite wonderful and I quite liked the way they dealt with people in a swift no nonsense manner :)

Ok ok...all the other comments are fair and well stated...but being deserved to kicked about...get a grip man...NO ONe...especially me deserves a good kicking from the Police...(btw it's never happened to me!) I'm a relaxed, helpful, and respectful guy...man i'm a teacher ( qualified btw...getting a bit annoyed with non qualified NATIVE speakers!!)

I am a steak expert!!..i really am....whilst travelling for the last 10 years I have worked in my fair share of steak houses!...From Angus steaks to Paddy steaks...i know them all...and from my experinece the steks here...are...well not steaks!

anyway....The Police..and the derserved beating comment hurt a tad!...ah well i'll get over it..true Brit style!

GoDfaTheR420: A decent (reasonably priced!) Curry house!!!!

GoDfaTheR420: My piss head mates!

GoDfaTheR420: Fish and Chips Bar..aka chippy

As for the above, don't you think you're trying a little bit too hard to sound all "Brit abroad"!

LOL...i am a Brit abroad!!!...whats wrong with craving the things you love!!..I have adopted as much as possible...I have almost lost my liver etc!!...but I love the things I love...and I love being a Brit in Poland!

I disagree with the Stella comment!...Loved in Belgium!!!...aint that in Europe?!

paying top price for a meal...at a great restaurant....with great atmosphere..only to have it ruined by some 'idiotic' muppet smoking sucks!

Steaks superior to England...lmao....where oh where do you eat steaks...please tell me!!...the steaks here are a light pinkish colour...once you grill them they turn grey and taste of stale water!

The police don't fuck about!...yeah cos they haven't the intelligence...they act like cavemen!
