How to compare PLN → UAH exchange at banks
Zlotys left after returning from Poland can be compared using the direct PLN → UAH direction. This page concerns exchanging zlotys for hryvnias, rather than first converting them into euros or dollars at a separate rate for each step.
Which rate applies to this direction
PLN → UAH uses the bank buying rate: the bank buys your PLN and pays hryvnias. For the same currency amount, a higher rate means more UAH before possible fees. Buying describes the bank side of the transaction; you are selling the currency.
How to calculate the exchange amount
UAH amount = PLN amount × bank buying rate per 1 PLN.
For example, estimate the proceeds from selling 1,000 PLN by multiplying 1,000 by the chosen bank buying rate. Use the same PLN amount for every offer you compare.
Enter the PLN amount in the converter above. In buying mode this is the foreign currency amount you want to buy, not the hryvnia budget. Use search and sorting to compare banks; a bank name opens its profile.
What to check before exchanging
- Check whether the branch buys PLN, which denominations it accepts and the UAH amount you will receive after any fees.
- Compare the same transaction method: branch cash, in-app exchange and card payments can have different rates.
- Check when the offer was updated, any applicable fees and the final amount before confirming the transaction.
Data and calculation terms
The comparison uses available bank quotes in our monitoring data. Totals are calculated from the rate without automatically including individual fees. The official NBU exchange rate is a separate reference and can differ from a bank buying or selling price. Confirm cash availability and the terms of the specific branch before visiting.
