Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA SWIFT/BIC code

What PTFIPLP1 means for a payment to Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA

The 8-character code PTFIPLP1 and the full code PTFIPLP1XXX refer to the same bank: Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA in Warszawa, Poland. The code has a single purpose: it ensures that a cross-border transfer reaches the right bank. In practice you usually come across it on invoices from abroad, in payment forms and on the account details that Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA provides.

We wrote this page to help people who sends money to an account at Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA without mistakes. The SWIFT code alone cannot identify an individual account holder; that is what the account number or IBAN is for.

How long does an international transfer to Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA take?

There is no fixed answer for international payments: some arrive the same day or the next. Bank holidays in either country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments can also cause some delay.

If the money is delayed, ask your bank for the status. Save the payment confirmation until the recipient confirms.

Only the sending bank can request a trace; the receiving side usually has nothing to trace yet. On the receiving end, you can check your statements for a partial amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Why Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA has an 8- and an 11-character code

The structure of every SWIFT code is always the same: a bank code of four letters, a two-letter country code and a two-character location code, sometimes followed by a branch code. In this case, that core is PTFIPLP1.

The full version has three more characters that identify a branch or department. When those three characters are XXX, they simply mean the head office.

Do not add spaces when you enter PTFIPLP1. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 or I versus 1.

Getting paid from abroad into a Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA account

When you expect money from abroad, give the sender everything they need in one go. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, PTFIPLP1XXX and, for some countries, your home address.

Their bank may also ask for the address of your bank; the head office in Warszawa is usually fine. Double-check every detail before you share them, because the sender’s bank usually copies them as is.

Do not be surprised if the incoming amount is below the amount on the sender’s receipt. Intermediary banks may deduct a fee and your own bank may charge for processing, and when currencies differ, a markup on the rate comes on top. Make clear with the sender who covers the fees.

International transfers from Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA: the real cost

A bank transfer abroad can cost more than the fee suggests. On top of a fixed fee, banks in between may deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency, the bank often uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

That exchange rate margin tends to be the biggest item because it is hidden in the rate. An easy check: put the bank’s rate against the mid-market rate for the same moment and look at the difference.

Specialised transfer providers often offer rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. GoldexPay lists transfer providers side by side so you can see what actually arrives for the same amount sent. You can always keep your account at Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA; only the conversion and sending happen elsewhere.

The Polish Zloty and what conversion costs you

Poland uses the Polish Zloty (PLN). When you pay money in a different currency has to be converted at some point. Each conversion costs something – usually through the rate rather than a fee.

Which bank converts the payment makes a difference. Compare what PLN the recipient gets via several services before choosing one.

The PLN rate changes throughout the day and quotes are often valid only for a short time. For regular payments, small differences in the rate make a real difference over a year.

A note on our data

Our SWIFT/BIC directory is compiled from public sources and is updated regularly. Even so, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes. Counts and locations come from our directory and may differ from what Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA publishes.

See the information here as a handy check and rely on the recipient or Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA for the final confirmation. GoldexPay is independent of Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA, we only compare transfer services. If you notice something that is out of date, we appreciate a message via the contact page.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks goes like this: an email arrives with a message claiming that a company has a new bank account. A real SWIFT code says nothing about whether the request is genuine.

Check new bank details via a different channel, never via the email that asked for the change. Watch out for time pressure, unusual wording or an email address that differs by one letter. When money has already gone to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Recipients can be targeted as well: one known trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to send back the difference. A screenshot of a transfer proves nothing; only your own account shows what has arrived.

Is PTFIPLP1 still correct? How to check

Ask the recipient to copy the bank details directly from their online banking. Compare that code against PTFIPLP1 here.

Mistakes in the BIC are costly rather than fatal: often the payment comes back, minus fees. Do not forget the IBAN: an error there is harder to undo than a wrong code.

A validity check in your banking app merely confirms that the code is valid, not that it is the right account. If your bank offers it, a payee name check on the recipient gives an extra layer of safety. A small test payment is a sensible step for a large first payment.

Not sure which code to use? Check with the recipient, or look at a recent statement from Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA. Codes can change when banks reorganise, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

SEPA payments and the Pko Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych SA BIC

Poland belongs to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). For a regular euro transfer within SEPA, the IBAN is usually enough.
