UK
Bank Account For Polish People
Many UK banks now offer bank accounts for the
Polish community. As part of the EU, maybe you
have come to the UK to find work, and if so you
will need to set up a UK bank account. As long
as you have identification and proof of a permanent
UK address, you should find that most banks will
be happy to assist in opening a bank account for
you.
If
you are from Poland and want to set up a UK bank
account in order to wire GBP (Great British Pounds)
back to Poland and convert the money into Euros
along the way, you should speak to the UK bank
regarding a specialist currency exchange service,
which will basically take your funds sitting in
your new UK bank account in GBP currency, and
convert them into EUROs at the current exchange
rate, finally depositing them into your chosen
bank account over in Poland.
In
the past it was quite difficult for Polish and
other members of the EU to open a UK bank account
whilst they were living here, however times have
changed and more UK banks are now offering UK
bank accounts to people from Poland and other
countries within the EU, providing they can prove
they are permanent residents within the UK, have
suitable ID and proof of their address. There
may also be other paperwork required depending
on the UK bank you are approaching. However if
you find you are not successful, simply trying
another bank should eventually work out for you.

available in the UK to your left, many also allow
you to apply online for ultimate convenience.
