Today I thought of writing down my experience about Money (TC or USD) conversion in Bank PKO polski (Warszawa, One near Pizza Hut in Centrum). Here in warszawa its easy to convert USD to PLN (Zoltey), but if you have TC's then you have difficult time to convert them to PLN or USD. As I know, the only bank that does TC's to USD or PLN conversion is Bank PKO Polski. The first problem which you will face is the communication problem. As there is no sign board written in english, it will be tough to find the counter where the TC's can be exchanged. Even after much struggle, we could find out counter (It was Counter-8, may get change). Once you are in the appropriate counter, then you have to wait for atleast 30-45 minutes to get your TC's converted. The process of converiosn is very slow and the young people can speak little better english, so you have to somehow manage with that. First they will verify your TC's and prepare 3 forms in thich you need to sign. Once the TC's are verified and forms are signed, you will be asked to move to another counter where you will be issued USD or PLN. Again in that counter you have to wait for your turn, this may again take another 10-15 minutes and you have to sign another 2 forms over here.
Overall the process of TC conversion takes an hour, by this time the Queue behind you would have grown like anything and people would have frustrated.
