Getting connected to the internet from the first minutes and opening a bank account are essential steps for a quick and stress-free setup in Poland.

Instant Internet Solution
-  ​​HubStudentsEurope Recommendation: Airalo
To avoid airport queues and the waiting time for a local SIM to be activated, we recommend setting up a data eSIM before your departure. Through our official partner Airalo, the world’s largest eSIM store, you can download a flexible data package for Poland directly to your phone. The connection is instant, 100% digital and completely secure, ensuring access to maps and transport apps from the first second you land.

- Polish Phone Number (+48) & Mandatory Registration:
If you need a long-term local phone number, please note that national security legislation in Poland prohibits the operation of anonymous SIM cards. No local card will become active without registering your identity data. This procedure is not done on third-party websites, but exclusively physically, presenting your passport or ID card in the official stores of licensed national operators: Orange, Play, Plus or T-Mobile.

Bank Account and National BLIK System

The official currency is the Zloty (PLN). You can open a student account at major Polish banks directly authorized by the Central Bank. All official banking applications in Poland natively include BLIK — a secure national payment infrastructure. This system allows you to pay for purchases or withdraw money from any ATM instantly, using only a unique 6-digit code generated on your phone. Details about its operation and official security can be found on the Official BLIK Page.
