sending euro to Poland/Polish bank account and NOT having it converted to Zloty

how can i send euro to Poland, and have it be received in my ING bank account in euro?

 

 I have 3 separate accounts 1. USdollars 2.  Polish Zloty  3.  Euro   

 

No matter which currency i choose to send and receive money, from my paypal to my own bank account  (sending my paypal USD to my USD account in poland and/or sending my paypal Euro to my Euro account in Poland)

IT ALWAYS WANTS TO CONVERT MY TRANSFER TO POLISH ZLOTY

 

I have been looking for over a year now on how to get this done.  I have spent literally dozens of hours researching this online.

 

How can i send Euro to Poland and have it be received in a Polish bank account in Euro.   Any bank account here in Poland starts with the letters PL, even with a separate account in Euro currency, will only transfer in Polish zloty currency.

 

I have to pay my tuition in Euro here at Medical University of Lodz, Poland.  Another way would be to send it from paypal to the school's account in Euro....how can that be done?

 

any tips or suggestions or links related to this subject would be welcomed and appreciated

 

thanks

Hi elfbuffalo,

 

When you are withdrawing funds from your PayPal account you can only withdraw in your local currency. If you have a UK account the funds will be automatically converted to GBP (pound sterling), and if you have a Polish account your funds will be converted to Polish Zloty. There is no option to withdraw in other currencies as your bank account will only accept payments in their currency.

 

The only exception to this rule is if you have a US bank account added you can withdraw in US dollars.

 

I am sorry that i do not have a work around for you but I hope this explains why the automatic conversion happens.

 

Thanks
