Some money transfer companies accept BLIK as a deposit method, which then switches to an internal network of bank accounts.

BLIK by itself cannot move money outside the country.

Sending money abroad is not itself a Polish tax charge.

A gift can still fall under Polish gift-tax rules depending on the recipient's tax position.

The closest family group can qualify for a full exemption.

Where Polish rules apply, a cash gift may need to be reported on form SD-Z2 within six months and documented through a bank, payment account or postal transfer.

The Polish tax authority explains the exemption and current filing conditions.

BFG deposit protection applies to eligible bank deposits.

A non-bank transfer company normally protects customer money through safeguarding instead, so avoid leaving a large account balance there after the transfer.

Check whether the company is authorised in Poland or passported from another EEA country through the KNF registers.
