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

1) In my experience, It's the individuals in each bank who decide whether or not to be friendly or helpful. I have been to several branches of different banks, some fantastic, others useless.
2) Best doing an online search, these differ depending on the account and whatever the bank is offering upon sign up.
3) PKOBP, BZWBK, and Millennium bank all offer very good online banking services in English (I can't name anymore because I don't have experiences with others).
4) Again, all banks above that I have experience with. I also different currency accounts, and in all honesty, PKOBP and BZWBK always have the best exchange rates too, in regards to banks anyhow. You'll get better exchange rates with something like walutomat online.
5) I think all banks issue cards accepted worldwide, the difference is the fee. Some offer free transactions, some charge an arm and a leg.
