A Polish nonprofit is usually a foundation or association, the fundacja or stowarzyszenie, registered in the KRS, and it opens a business account in the organisation name. Several traditional banks, including mBank and PKO Bank Polski, offer accounts aimed at foundations and associations, sometimes with no monthly fee under conditions. International providers such as Revolut Business serve some nonprofits, but acceptance depends on the entity type and activity, so confirm it first. Onboarding asks for the KRS extract, the statute, the governing board and beneficial owners. Compare the nonprofit offer, the conditions and the transfer and card fees for how your organisation operates. As of 3 March 2026.
What Nonprofits in Poland need from a business account
A nonprofit needs an account in the organisation name that matches its KRS registration, with the right board members authorised, low running costs, and clear records for grants, donations and reporting. Many Polish banks run dedicated foundation and association accounts, sometimes free under conditions, which suits organisations watching costs. The trade offs are whether the provider accepts your entity type and activity, the monthly fee and its conditions, transfer and card fees, and support for online donations. Confirm acceptance and current pricing with the provider before you rely on it.
