Illustration: a freelancer comparing a short list of business accounts

Data checked 25 September 2026

This roundup looks at five business current accounts marketed to freelancers and sole traders in Poland, ranked by a fixed scoring model based on published weights. The order reflects the published scores only, not editorial preference.

Each entry lists the monthly fee, any card fee, and the sign-up bonus where the provider publishes one, together with the main conditions attached to those figures. Where a provider does not publish a figure, that is stated rather than guessed at.

Offer end dates and bonus conditions can change, so anyone comparing these accounts can check the current terms directly with each bank before opening an account.
