Citi Handlowy (Bank Handlowy) is the premium banking option in Poland, offering exceptional English support and services tailored to high-net-worth individuals and international clients. Historically popular with U.S. expats and Ukrainians, the bank provides wealth management, premium customer service, and the expertise of the global Citi Group. However, it comes with higher monthly fees (15-50 PLN) and has the smallest ATM network (600 ATMs).
