Law / Why are the Poles following the Swiss Franc? [17]

freaking mortgages in CHF. 5 yrs ago people thought it was a good idea , not anymore though - franc's getting stronger and stronger against zloty, which basically means higher monthly mortgage installments

Law / What's the best way to transfer £20,000 into PLN [31]


Lwowska Krakow: craziest idea ever! What if you lose it or get robbed - S%#t happens you know. I bought a cottage in Zywiec some time ago and had to transfer large amounts of money back in the day. All in all, i wouldn't recommend Western union as their commission is to say it mildly ridiculous. Banks also take their 'share' plus their rates are not great. Personally I would use Xendpay or moneygam or other fx broker. good luck

Law / Using Paypal to send money to Poland [12]

I find Paypal a bit of a pain in the a.. - and don't like the fact that both the sender and the recipient are required to have an account. I've been using Xendpay for while and it's ok. If you open a free account with them the transfers are for free. the rates are not too bad either.
