Polish Zloty (PLN) and conversion costs

Most accounts at Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.) are usually held in PLN, the local currency. A payment in a foreign currency will be converted into PLN on its way to Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.) – and the bank that does it picks the rate. There is rarely a separate line for that conversion; it is built into the rate.

Which bank converts the payment makes a difference, because each party uses its own rate. Often you pay less if you send PLN straight away via a provider that converts near the mid-market rate rather than letting the receiving bank convert.

Exchange rates move during the day – some services let you fix a rate in advance. For recurring payments, a slightly better rate add up over time.

Paying someone abroad from your Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.) account

An international bank payment costs rather more than the listed fee. Besides a fixed fee, banks in between may deduct a fee, and if the money changes currency, the bank usually uses a rate that is less favourable than the real market rate.

Banks do not list the margin on the rate separately – you only notice it if you compare. An easy check: set the rate you get against the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

For many currency pairs, a transfer service is less expensive than a bank – mostly thanks to the rate. GoldexPay compares transfer providers next to each other, showing the amount the recipient gets before you commit. You can still keep your account at Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.) to fund the transfer.

Receiving money from abroad at Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.)

If you expect a payment from another country, give the sender everything they need in one go. Give them your name as the bank knows it, your account number or IBAN, the BIC BOTKPLPWXXX and your address, which some banks require.

Certain sending banks also ask for the bank’s address in Warszawa, so keep it at hand. Double-check the details before you share them.

Do not be surprised if the amount credited is below the amount on the sender’s receipt. Fees for incoming transfers differ per bank; check the price list of Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.). Make clear with the sender who pays which costs, especially for larger amounts.

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.)

An international transfer typically needs anywhere from one to several business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Weekends and public holidays in either country add extra days to the journey. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments may also cause some delay, regardless of the details.

When a payment takes longer than expected, ask the sending bank about the tracking status so they can trace it along the chain. Money transfer services usually show tracking in their app so you can see how far the money is.

The bank that sent the money is able to start an official trace – the recipient’s bank often cannot see a payment that has not arrived. Ask the sender for the payment receipt including the reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

Changed bank details? Be careful

Stay wary when someone suddenly wants you to pay into another account abroad. That BOTKPLPW is a real code does not mean that a request mentioning it is legitimate.

Before paying, confirm changed bank details by phone on a number you know, not one from the message. Be suspicious of urgent requests, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. Already paid? Call your bank straight away and ask them to try to recall the payment.

Recipients are targeted too: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to send back the difference to another account. Do not act before the money is actually in your account.

A note on our data

The details here come from publicly available data which we refresh regularly. Institutions reorganise, close branches and retire codes, and a directory never catches every change immediately.

BOTKPLPW or BOTKPLPWXXX – which one to use?

A SWIFT code is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters stand for the bank, characters five and six show the country and the two after that indicate the location. Together, these eight characters form BOTKPLPW, the code most people search for.

Most banks and apps accept both lengths. If yours requires eleven characters, use BOTKPLPWXXX; if it wants eight, use BOTKPLPW.

Leave out spaces when you type BOTKPLPW. Pasting the code is safer than retyping it.

Head office or branch code at Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.)?

We have 2 SWIFT/BIC codes for Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.). Next to the head office code BOTKPLPWXXX, you will find codes for individual branches and departments.

In most cases you do not need to look up a branch: transfers addressed to BOTKPLPWXXX are routed within Mufg Bank (Europe) N.V. S.A. Oddzial W Polsce (Formerly Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ufj (Polska) S.A.) without problems. Only use a branch code when your contact gives you that exact code, for example on a letter or invoice.

The safest route is to take the code directly from the recipient’s bank details. Codes for branches are more prone to be retired than the head office code.

Is BOTKPLPW still correct? How to check

The safest source for a SWIFT code is the recipient’s own bank details. If the code you have differs from BOTKPLPW or BOTKPLPWXXX, stop and ask.

Errors in the BIC are costly rather than disastrous: often the payment comes back, minus fees. An error in the IBAN or account number is a bigger problem; check it just as carefully.

An automatic check by your bank merely tells you that the code is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. If your bank offers it, a payee name check before sending gives an extra layer of safety. A small test payment is worth it for a large first payment.
