Best business account for freelancers — September 2026

Illustration: a freelancer comparing a short list of business accounts

Data checked 23 September 2026

Choosing a business account as a freelancer or sole trader in Poland often comes down to fees, sign-up bonuses and how much information a bank actually publishes. This month’s comparison looks at four accounts aimed at self-employed people, ranked by a fixed set of published weights.

The scores range widely. Some providers publish clear fee structures and bonus terms, which pushes their score up. Others leave key figures unpublished, and that gap counts against them rather than being filled in with guesswork.

The order below is fixed and reflects the published scores only. Readers should check each provider’s own terms before deciding, since conditions can change.

Questions

What does the score for each account mean?

The score is calculated from a fixed set of published weights covering fees, bonuses and other terms. A lower score usually means the provider has not published some of the figures used in the comparison, not necessarily that the account is worse in every respect.

Are any of these business accounts free to run?

Some providers publish a monthly fee of zero, such as PKO BP and mBank, while Revolut publishes a fixed monthly fee. Pekao’s monthly fee is not published here, so this should be confirmed directly with the provider.

Can the ranking change if I qualify for a different offer?

The ranking reflects the published scores for the specific accounts listed and does not change based on individual circumstances. Readers should check each provider’s terms to see whether other offers or conditions might apply to them.
