Polish Złoty (PLN) is the currency of Poland, issued by the National Bank of Poland. Track any PLN cross-border SWIFT payment free with Ohmyfin — paste your UETR or bank reference to see the live status.
Details
PLN settles via SORBNET2. Cross-border PLN uses SWIFT MT103 through PKO BP, Pekao or Santander Polska.
Typical processing time: 1-2 business days.
On a SWIFT MT103, the PLN amount appears in field 32A together with the value date. The currency code is part of the ISO 4217 standard, so "PLN" means the same thing in every bank in the world.
If your PLN payment is missing or stuck, the most common reasons are correspondent-bank cut-off times, sanctions screening on the beneficiary or originator, or a missing field on the MT103 (purpose-of-payment, beneficiary address). Ohmyfin shows you exactly where the payment is in the chain.
