Santander — an offer for Ukrainians until the end of April
It is noted that the preferential offer to Ukrainians will be valid until the end of April 2023. The bank offers free access to a personal account with a package of services for citizens of Ukraine:

- for servicing corporate cards issued from March 1, 2022.
Most other banks will service the accounts of Ukrainian citizens within a year from the moment the account is opened or until the end of February 2023.
Let’s remind
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the largest banks in Poland have prepared special offers for citizens of Ukraine, given their lack of documents and the possibility of paying commissions. Also, most financial institutions have made Ukrainian-language versions of their mobile applications and keep documentation for opening accounts in Ukrainian.
