if you need to exchange pounds into zlotys your best bet is to bring cash from the UK and exchange it in an exchange office (called KANTOR in Polish) - they have the best rates (and typically don't charge commission) - there are also online KANTORs but I have never tried them - perhaps someone here has experience with them

The best option is to use machines operated by your bank whose card you are using. Other banks or private operators charge processing fees on alien cards. It is normal.

I have been using my Foreign ATM to withdraw money and pay my bills for over two years, I don't even notice the charges anymore. Don't worry, you will get used to it.
