The mid-market line shows what 30.000 zł converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more KRW per PLN than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of KRW on every transfer from Poland.

Right now, Revolut pays 9,999,917 KRW on 30,000 PLN, which is 147,106.27 KRW less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 10,544,016.07 KRW.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to South Korea.

We've tracked 94 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 26 comparisons

    Cheapest in 96% of them

  2. WiseAppeared in 93 comparisons

    Cheapest in 39% of them

  3. RevolutAppeared in 83 comparisons

    Cheapest in 13% of them

Based on 94 comparisons across 5 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Revolut is the cheapest and gets you the most KRW, but it was the cheapest in only 13% of the 83 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

CurrencyFair (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 2% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to South Korea.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with Revolut, since it's the cheapest right now.

Consider this when sending PLN to South Korea

There are a few nuances when sending money from Poland to South Korea.

Compare PLN/KRW transfer options

For a 30,000 PLN transfer to South Korea, these are the cheapest, fastest and easiest options.

Cheapest way to send money to South Korea

The cheapest option is Revolut, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 9,999,917 KRW, which is 0.64% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to South Korea

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 9,999,917 KRW, with the money arriving in within minutes.

BLIK funds PLN deposits only

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.

Gifts can need Polish tax paperwork

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

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.
