Expat-Friendliness Score
Alior Bank is a modern Polish bank known for innovation and competitive business banking. However, it's challenging for expats due to very limited English support and strict PESEL requirements. The bank is best suited for Polish-speaking expats or those with local business needs who can navigate the process. While the mobile app offers some English features, the overall experience is geared toward Polish customers. If you speak Polish and have PESEL, Alior offers good value for business accounts with low fees and innovative features.
