Law / Opening a Polish Bank Account by a foreigner in Poland. Recommendations. [299]
Go with WBK, I was only in the country for only a couple of weeks and was able to open an account on the spot with no appointments etc. They were happy to help and my account was open and ready to use there and then. Had to wait only 3/4 days for the card. I have a dual account in UK and PL. The process was reasonably fast, I brought my passport, tennancy agreement and was ready to go. Although they charge you for balance checks and using other machines there are generally a few machines in and around cities and towns so there is no need to walk far. I was given a debit card and there was no deposit needed for opening the account, all they asked was that i made 3 purchases in 3 months via debit which was easy. The whole process was totally hassle free.
