How to send money from UK to Poland

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Poland, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.

Key Currency was the cheapest on 27 of the 30 days it quoted £10,000 transfers to Poland.

On a 10,000 GBP transfer, Key Currency delivers the most PLN.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/PLN rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Paying from your bank is usually both cheapest and quickest, since most companies connect straight into your banking app via Open Banking.

Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On a £10,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

Compare amounts

How much GBP are you sending to Poland?

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £10,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £10,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.

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 PLN per GBP 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 PLN on every transfer from UK.

Right now, Key Currency pays 52,475.94 PLN on 10,000 GBP, which is 131.52 PLN less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout is the highest in the past month.

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 Poland.

We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. Key CurrencyAppeared in 106 comparisons

    Cheapest in 90% of them

  2. Regency FXAppeared in 106 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

  3. TorFxAppeared in 106 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

  4. BarclaysAppeared in 166 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 196 comparisons across 7 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 and gets you the most PLN, and it was also the cheapest in 90% of the 106 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Poland.

Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Poland.

There are many ways to send money to Poland from the UK, including broker, online, app, multi-currency account, global account, in person, and bank, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Key Currency charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.25% markup on top of the current GBP/PLN rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.

Consider this when sending GBP to Poland

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Poland such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/PLN transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £10,000 transfer to Poland:

Cheapest way to send money to Poland

The cheapest way is to use Key Currency, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get zł52,475.94, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Poland

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get zł52,036.12 and it will arrive in within minutes.

UK transfer limits

There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.

Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).

Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.

And on bigger GBP/PLN transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending £10,000 with Key Currency will get you 52,475.94 PLN, that’s including £0 fee and 0.25% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you zł51,150.44, that’s £0 in fees but 2.81% in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Poland.

And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.

Staying safe when sending abroad

Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.

The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.

Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.

How we analyse the market

We track 12 regulated companies offering money transfers from the UK to Poland in real time.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 196 comparisons across 7 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for GBP/PLN 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.
