British Pound (GBP) exchange rate — Warsaw & Kraków
You usually check the British pound exchange rate when you need it right away — planning a trip, receiving a transfer from abroad, or selling pounds after coming back. At Valuta.com.pl we buy and sell pounds at the rate on this page — no commission, no minimum amount. We update the GBP/PLN rate continuously, and when you order online you can lock it in for 60 minutes so the market doesn't move before you get to the branch. We're registered in the National Bank of Poland's currency exchange register and operate under AML regulations, with two branches — in Warsaw and Kraków.

The buy and sell rate on this page applies both online and at the counter — there's no separate, less favourable rate at the till. This rate doesn't cover low denominations, damaged or written-on banknotes, older series, or coins — you'll get an exact valuation for these on-site.

Buying pounds
We accept British pound banknotes of all denominations and series — the condition of each note is assessed by the cashier on site. New and well-preserved banknotes are valued at the full rate; for heavily worn, stained or damaged notes, the valuation may be adjusted individually after inspection. Show your notes at the counter — we'll check them quickly in front of you.
Selling pounds
Pounds in the main denominations are usually available on the spot at both branches. If you need specific denominations or a larger amount, call ahead — we'll set the cash aside and lock in a rate for you.
