The Polish diaspora in the United Kingdom is one of the largest in Europe: according to Polish government data, more than one million Polish citizens lived in the UK before Brexit. Most of them regularly send money home, and the pound-to-zloty pair has become one of the most in-demand cross-border combinations. After the change in Polish residents' status in the UK, GBP/PLN transfers have persisted as a steady financial flow - family ties and financial obligations to relatives have not gone away.

Polish emigration to the United Kingdom: the origins of the GBP/PLN pair

After Poland joined the EU in 2004, hundreds of thousands of Poles took advantage of freedom of movement and relocated to the United Kingdom in search of work. Construction, logistics, healthcare - Polish workers entered all key sectors of the British economy. Regular salary transfers home made the GBP/PLN pair one of the most liquid in the European money transfer segment.

PLN: the zloty is not in the Eurozone, but lives by European rhythms

Poland is a member of the European Union but has not switched to the euro - and has no plans to do so anytime soon. The zloty remains the national currency with a floating rate managed by the National Bank of Poland. At the same time, the Polish economy is closely linked to the Eurozone: the main trading partners are Germany and other EU countries. Therefore, the PLN rate often moves in parallel with the euro, although the zloty's volatility is higher.

Brexit and the Polish zloty: how the transfer landscape changed

Brexit forced many Poles to reconsider their plans to live in the UK; some returned home, but a significant community remained - now with settled status. The pound-to-zloty transfer mechanism itself did not change: banks and specialized services continue to work with the GBP/PLN pair. What did change was the pound's own volatility: Brexit uncertainty made GBP less predictable for several years.

GBP/PLN for small businesses operating between the two countries

Polish-British business ties are not limited to worker remittances. Polish companies exporting goods to the UK and British firms with Polish offices regularly convert pounds to zlotys and back. For such operations, speed and rate predictability are important - ATM24 handles this for both private transfers and small corporate exchanges.

Frequently asked questions about pound and Polish zloty conversion

How do I transfer pound sterling to zlotys through ATM24?

Submit an application on the ATM24 website: select the GBP-to-PLN direction, specify the amount and the recipient's details in Poland. The rate is fixed at the time of application confirmation.

Why has Poland not switched to the euro and still uses the zloty?

Poland is legally obligated to switch to the euro as an EU member, but there is no specific timeline. The transition requires meeting the Maastricht criteria and a political consensus that has not yet formed.

How did Brexit affect transfers from the UK to Poland?

The transfer mechanism remained the same - GBP is converted to PLN through banks and transfer services without new restrictions for recipients in Poland. What changed was mainly the legal status of the remitters themselves in the UK.

Can I exchange pound sterling for zlotys in cash?

Cash GBP/PLN exchange is available at Polish banks and exchange offices with physical presence. For remote exchange it is more convenient to use ATM24 with payment to a bank account in Poland.

How does the GBP/PLN rate respond to political decisions in Poland?

The zloty is sensitive to the domestic political environment: disputes with EU institutions, changes to the judicial system, or budget decisions often cause short-term PLN movements. GBP, meanwhile, reacts to British economic statistics and Bank of England policy.
