Polish entities

One of the largest economies in the European Union, with a deep pool of software, technology and game development talent. Home to many suppliers, studios and service companies within international groups.

In shortCCYFX onboards Polish companies such as sp. z o.o., S.A. and P.S.A. entities, including software and game studios within international groups, and converts PLN alongside EUR, USD and GBP. Typical documents include a KRS extract and a CRBR beneficial owner extract.

Overview

An EU base for technology and services

Poland is an EU member state with its own currency, the zloty. Companies are registered in the National Court Register (KRS), and their beneficial owners are recorded in the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (CRBR).

Many international groups run software development, game studios, back-office and client service operations through Polish companies. For these businesses, we convert PLN alongside EUR, USD and GBP.
