So, we got some cash in Poland and we’re trying to figure out the best way to send it to our local bank account in the US. The cash is in the local currency (PLN) in our friends’ ING bank account. I know we can’t accept PLN, so the money would need to be exchanged to USD when we send it. That means we’d have to rely on ING’s exchange rate.

Any idea how to find out what exchange rate ING will use when they send the money? Someone suggested using wise.com, and while we’d love to get the best exchange rate (in our favor), we also don’t want to make our friend go through too many hoops to make this happen. How much of a difference can it make when using a local bank like ING compared to sending money through wise.com? Are there any other options or recommendations you can suggest? Thanks

  1. My relative used her official PKO account to send a decent amount of PLN to my Revolut account. I had given her Polish currency credentials extracted from my Rovolut. Revolut used in that transaction was opened years ago in the UK. Barely any fees got added so I was quite happy i she was too. You could use Wise or Revolut , just extract polish currency account detail and it should work just like a transfer going from Polish bank to another Polish bank.
