# The most important exchange rates today

Purchase rate: 4,1974 PLN | Sales rate: PLN 4,2822
The euro remains the dominant currency for Polish travellers and exporters. The quote of 25 May 2026 indicates the stabilisation of the euro rate at a level similar to the last sessions. Last week we have seen small fluctuations, which means that Polish gold maintains relative stability towards the single European currency. For people travelling to euro area countries, it is worth noting the difference between the purchase rate and the sale rate — The cantor charges a difference of approximately PLN 0.09 per euro for this operation.
US Dollar (USD)
Average rate NBP: PLN 3,6374
Purchase rate: PLN 3,6174 | Sales rate: PLN 3,6904
The US dollar is below PLN 3.64, which is good news for the Polish currency buyer. The dollar rate shows the volatility characteristic of the main economic links between the United States and the world. Those planning a holiday in the US or carrying out financial operations in dollars should remember that NBP courses are reference — the actual odds in the exchange offices may vary, as is due to the business margin of the facility.
Pound sterling (GBP)
Average rate NBP: PLN 4,9078
Purchase rate: 4,8606 PLN | Sales rate: PLN 4,9588
Pound sterling remains one of the most expensive currencies available on the Polish market. The GBP rate remains relatively high, reflecting the importance of the UK in the global financial system. For Poles going to the British Isles, the exchange for a pound requires greater financial commitment compared to the euro or the dollar.
Swiss franc (CHF)
Average rate NBP: PLN 4,6530
Purchase rate: 4,6032 PLN | Sales rate: 4,6962 PLN
Swiss franc is traditionally considered safe and stable currency. The May 25 quotations confirm this view — CHF remains on a solid level close to PLN 4.65. People travelling to Switzerland should remember that the franc is one of the more expensive currencies, which directly translates into the travel budget.
Czech koruna (CZK)
Average rate NBP: 0.1745 PLN
Purchase rate: 0,1729 PLN | Sales rate: PLN 0,1763
Czech krona is listed at much lower levels than the major world currencies, which reflects the weaker economic position of the Czech Republic in relation to the largest economies. Exchanges for Czech crown are especially popular before trips to Prague and other Czech cities.
Norwegian krone (NOK)
Average rate NBP: PLN 0,3936
Purchase rate: 0,3905 PLN | Sales rate: PLN 0,3983
The Norwegian krone, although it belongs to countries which are partially integrated into the European Union, has a relative strength in the foreign exchange markets. The NOK course reflects a rich Norwegian economy based on natural resources. Tourism to Norway requires adequate financial preparation due to high prices in shops and restaurants.
Swedish krona (SEK)
Average rate NBP: PLN 0,3923
Purchase rate: PLN 0,3865 | Sales rate: PLN 0,3943
The Swedish krona of the exchange is for the NBP's side courses, indicating the relatively weaker position of this currency against gold. Sweden, despite a high standard of living and an advanced economy, exhibits a historically weaker relative crown to the major currencies of the world. For Poles leaving for Stockholm or other cities of Sweden, the exchange of cash for a crown requires planning with appropriate time.

How do you read the NBP courses? Practical Guide
When you check the NBP exchange rates, you meet three concepts: the average rate, the purchase rate and the sales rate. The average rate (also called mid-rate) is the reference value of the currency that the central bank publishes — This is not the price you will receive in the cantore, but the official benchmark for the entire financial industry. The purchase rate is the price at which the currency will be bought from you (your currency will die here) money foreign), and the sales rate is the price you will pay in the cantore when you want to buy a foreign currency (i.e. the "ask" column in the tables). The difference between the purchase rate and the sale rate is the cantor margin — The bigger the difference, the higher the commission hidden in the transaction. For example, for the euro, the difference is around PLN 0.09 and banks often charge additional commissions, so actual rates may differ significantly from the NBP.

# Curiosity of the day
Bored by the monotony of the dollar or the euro? Notice the Japanese yen (JPY) — the currency that appears in the NBP tables with three decimal places instead of four. Japan, being the world's third largest economy, has a currency weaker nominally than the Polish zloty, which means that for one gold we get as much as 43.75 yen in return. This reflects the difference in monetary systems — This is not a symptom of the weakness of the Japanese economy, but a result of historic monetary policy decisions and conventions on financial markets.
# Summary — track the exchange rates each day
Exchange rates change every working day and the National Bank of Poland publishes official quotations from Monday to Friday.
