You can’t get PLN account details right now. We need to make some improvements to our PLN account details. So, we’ve had to stop users getting these details for the time being. If you already have PLN account details, you can keep using them as normal.
Account details are a set of details for a currency to receive money.
Once you have your PLN account details, you’ll have your own account number where you can receive Polish złoty.
This isn’t a traditional bank account, but you can receive money in the same way by sharing the account number with friends, family, clients or companies, so that they can send you money.
They can pay you locally from their Polish bank, or internationally by Swift. Once you receive the money, it’ll be credited to your PLN balance.
Opening new account details
You’ll first need to open a PLN balance. Then you select Get your account details and follow the steps.
We’ll need to verify you before we can provide details to you.
Checking your account details
To see your details once you’ve got them, on the app or web:
Go on your PLN balance
Select the account details button just under the currency
You can view and copy your local account details to share with others
If you want to get paid internationally by Swift — toggle Global ・ Swift at the top
You can also request payments from your sender.
How your PLN account details work
Here is some general information about your account details.

| Receiving fees | None | None (correspondent bank fees may apply) |

Payments from inside Poland
The sender’s bank will give them an estimate when they set up the payment — for any details about how long it takes, reach out to your sender so they can ask their bank.
Payments from outside Poland
Payments via Swift to PLN details
Share your global Swift account details with the person who wants to pay you. They can send Swift payments to your account from anywhere in the world.
They should only send you PLN to these account details, because we can't process international payments in any other currency.
We don’t charge any additional fees to receive international payments in PLN, but correspondent banks might apply their own fees.
You can use the Belgian BIC to receive payments in PLN to your PLN balance.
Some banks may not be able to send payments to your Polish IBAN. In that case, you can use your GBP account details to receive PLN by Swift.
Payments by Swift to GBP details
You can also receive PLN from outside Poland by Swift into your GBP global account details.
Let the sender know that you want to receive PLN into your GBP details so you can avoid conversion fees. Some banks might recognise the GBP IBAN and want to convert PLN to GBP, but this isn't necessary.
If their bank asks them the country of the recipient’s (your) bank, tell them to select the United Kingdom.
