How to send money from Poland to UK

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest option, which is Key Currency. It will get you the most GBP on a PLN 30,000 transfer.

Key Currency was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted zł30,000 transfers to the UK.

This heavily depends on how much you send, so I suggest to get the best PLN/GBP rate.

Fund your transfer

You can fund your transfer to the United Kingdom using bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Depending on the transfer company, you can use BLIK, which is the quickest and easiest.

Verify and send

Before you send, you'll need to verify your account.

You'll need a photo ID and your PESEL.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send 30.000 zł, after fees, as quoted by each company. 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 GBP 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 GBP on every transfer from Poland.

Right now, Key Currency pays 5,706.28 GBP on 30,000 PLN, which is 14.30 GBP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 5,792.31 GBP.

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 the UK.

We've tracked 146 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

  1. Key CurrencyAppeared in 30 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. XeAppeared in 115 comparisons

    Cheapest in 1% of them

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 30 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 146 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 Key Currency is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Xe (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 1% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to the UK.

Consider this when sending PLN to UK

There are a few nuances when sending money from Poland to the UK.

Compare PLN/GBP transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to the United Kingdom

The cheapest option is Key Currency, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 5,706.28 GBP, which is 0% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to the United Kingdom

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 5,649.58 GBP, 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.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for PLN/GBP transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
