Expat-Friendliness Score
BNP Paribas Bank Polska is part of the global French banking group, bringing international expertise to Poland. The bank offers fee-free accounts if you meet transaction activity requirements, and some branches provide video call onboarding for certain nationalities (especially EU citizens). However, policies can be inconsistent across branches, and the smaller ATM network may be limiting. It's a decent option for EU citizens and those seeking to avoid monthly fees, but expect variability in service quality and English support depending on location.
