FAQ — Personal Accounts

The most common questions about account management, cards, fees, security, and using your account in Poland and abroad.

What is a personal account (ROR) and what is it used for?
A personal account (ROR) is an everyday transaction account for salary deposits, transfers, card and BLIK payments, ATM withdrawals, and mobile payments (Apple Pay/Google Pay).
What fees can apply to a personal account?
The most common items are: account maintenance fee, debit card fee, withdrawals from out-of-network ATMs, instant transfers, FX conversion, and insurance bundles. In many banks these fees can be reduced by meeting simple conditions (e.g., minimum monthly inflows and a few card transactions).
Can I open an account fully online? What about expats?
Yes — most banks allow remote onboarding (selfie verification/courier/branch). Expats typically need a passport or residence card and a proof of address. In our descriptions we indicate banks that provide full English-language service.
How does the debit card work and when is it free?
A debit card lets you pay in stores and online and withdraw cash. Banks often waive the monthly fee if you make a set number of transactions or exceed a minimum monthly spend.
ATM withdrawals — are they free?
Withdrawals are usually free at the bank’s own ATM network. Out-of-network withdrawals may incur a fee, unless the account/card includes unlimited or a certain number of free withdrawals per month.
Are instant transfers chargeable?
Standard domestic transfers are usually free. Instant transfers (Express/BlueCash) often carry a small fee, though they may be included for free in selected packages.
Using the account abroad: FX rates and conversions
Foreign-currency payments may involve a fee and the exchange rate of the scheme (Visa/Mastercard) or the bank. Some accounts offer better FX rates, multi-currency card linking, or free ATM withdrawals abroad.
Are my funds safe? What about the BFG guarantee?
Funds held at banks covered by the BFG (Bank Guarantee Fund) are protected up to the equivalent of EUR 100,000 per person, per bank. Additionally, banks use strong customer authentication (3-D Secure), transaction/login limits, and biometrics.
Can I get an overdraft (authorised limit)?
Yes — many banks offer an overdraft subject to credit assessment. Interest is charged only on the amount used. In our account details we indicate availability and costs of the limit.
How do I switch my account from another bank?
Most banks offer a switching service: with your consent, the new bank updates standing orders and notifies your employer about your new account number. You can apply online or in a branch.
Are there joint accounts and youth accounts?
Yes — joint accounts (e.g., for couples) and accounts for young people/pupils and students are available, often with reduced fees and educational spending limits.
How do I close an account and what about promotions/cashback?
You can typically close an account in the app, at a branch, or by post. Before closing, check the promotion terms (e.g., required activity for X months) to avoid losing your bonus/cashback. Make sure there are no active standing orders and no negative balance.
