Alior was financed by an Italian, and staffed by all the talent who left during the merger of Bank BPH and Pekao SA (so mostly ex-BPH staff.) They offer astounding returns, but they're a VERY new bank so I have no idea about how long their dynamism will last.

I cannot urge enough to stay away from Pekao SA. But Millenium have been very good to me with their current account and mortgage products.

Its totally normal for 90% of bank workers in Poland to not have a friggen clue what theyre talking about.

You should ask yourself why you were attempting to open a bank account with PKO BP in the first place.

With them, anything is normal.

Millenium is the best bank for foreigners, really.

I thought it was a bit strange,its not as if im even trying to get credit with them,i simply need an account to pay money in and withdraw as required.I think I will try WBK tomorrow as Millenium dont have any branches close enough to where i am.

Most strange it took about 1/2hr of form filling and id checking to open my PKO account.I personally have never had any problems with them over the last 4 years.I transfered money from the UK with no problem and still do.But it is interesting to see most of the posts on here saying stay away.I guess you all had problems.

PKO and Pekao, some clients dont even know the difference.
