Since 2022 Poland has been Ukraine's largest EU trade partner and the top destination for Ukrainian relocation. As of early 2026 there are ~1.5 million Ukrainians in Poland under temporary protection — many remit salaries to Ukraine or receive transfers from Ukraine. This creates steady demand for PLN/UAH and UAH/PLN rates.

How to send money to Poland

SWIFT transfer — €25–40 commission, 1–3 days. Wise (TransferWise) — 0.5–1% rate markup + €2–5, same day. Revolut — close to the official rate for premium tiers. Privat and Mono zloty cards — auto-conversion at the bank's rate with ~0.5% margin.

Zloty rate: what to watch

PLN rate depends on the National Bank of Poland (NBP) rate decisions, Polish inflation, euro dynamics. Since 2024 the zloty has strengthened against the hryvnia by ~5% due to wage growth and Polish economic stabilization.
