Polish currency in Belfast

Hello

I need to get some Polish money (zlotys) within the next week or so.

Where can I get them ideally in Belfast (definitely not online) that offers a good exchange rate and does not charge commission (or a very low charge).

Looking about £400 worth

Thanks

    I am in the same boat - I normally get mine from M&S but the PO looks better!

    If you know any of the many Polish people in NI, you might be able to do a private deal at the correct market exchange rate which would be beneficial to both parties. You should be able to find that rate online (try Bank of England site).

    if you use quidco or topcashback you can get £3 cashback if you are buying from the Post Office

  • The last time I used the Post Office (for Euros), I got a much better rate by booking the currency on-line & collecting over the counter. Think some large Tescos stores offer a similar service.
