How to deposit PLN to Interactive Brokers?
Depending on which Interactive Brokers entity your brokerage account is held with, you may be directed to deposit PLN into an Interactive Brokers bank account held at a bank in Germany. However, please note that even though the bank account is located outside of Poland, it is denominated in PLN and can receive PLN transfers without issues.
Clients who receive our bank account details of our Polish bank, can perform regular local bank to bank transfers (domestic payment).
IMPORTANT: You must instruct your bank to transfer PLN
If your bank is located in Poland, your bank application may ask if you would prefer to send funds in the currency of the destination country (which is EUR for Germany). Do not select to transfer EUR, and do not select SEPA as the transfer method as it is only valid for EUR transfers.
Ensure that the currency sent by your bank is PLN. The Correspondent Bank information we provide are solely required if your bank explicitly asks you to confirm. Usually your bank will select the correspondent bank information on your behalf in the back ground and will not be asked to enter.
What Information does my bank need to transfer PLN funds?
IBKR will provide you our IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and SWIFT code of our bank account which is valid for payments from outside and within Poland.
Please Note
- If you receive our bank routing information for our bank located in Germany, your bank may ask you in addition to the IBAN and SWIFT of our bank as well their Corespondent Bank information. You only need to provide them if your bank explicitly asks for them.
- Do NOT transfer funds directly to the Correspondent Bank as funds will not be accepted and will be rejected.
