What factors influence the current Dollar to Zloty exchange rate (USD/PLN)?
The USD/PLN currency pair shows how many Polish zlotys (PLN) we have to pay for one US dollar (USD). The dollar is the undisputed king of global financial markets, which is why its exchange rate against the zloty can be very volatile.
The USD/PLN exchange rate is primarily influenced by the decisions of two central banks:
- The US Federal Reserve (Fed) – which sets the tone for the entire global economy through its interest rate decisions.
- The National Bank of Poland (NBP) – which determines the value of the Polish zloty.
The US dollar is considered a ‘safe haven’. This means that when global risks rise (crises, wars, economic turmoil), global capital flees emerging markets (which include Poland) at lightning speed and buys dollars. This is precisely why, in turbulent times, the USD/PLN exchange rate can rise sharply.

Dollar exchange for businesses and importers (B2B)
The dollar is the settlement currency not only for the US, but for all trade with Asia (including China). If your company imports goods from the Far East, the high and volatile dollar exchange rate offered by traditional banks can drastically reduce your profit margin.
At Trejdoo, we understand the challenges faced by importers. We offer companies access to negotiated exchange rates for higher volumes, which allow you to significantly reduce your exchange costs. By securing a favourable rate with us, you can be sure that market volatility won’t eat into your import profits.
Fast international transfers in USD
The exchange itself isn’t the whole story – the US currency still needs to be delivered to your business partner.
With Trejdoo, once you’ve exchanged zlotys for dollars, you can arrange a fast international transfer directly from your customer dashboard. We offer transparent fees and ensure that your payments to suppliers in the US or Asia are processed efficiently, securely and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - USD/PLN
How do you read the USD/PLN exchange rate correctly?
In this exchange rate, the US dollar (USD) is the base currency and the Polish zloty (PLN) is the quoted currency. The exchange rate shown indicates how many zlotys you need to pay for 1 dollar. For example, a rate of 3.9500 means that one dollar costs exactly 3 zlotys and 95 groszy.
What are the best times to exchange USD for PLN?
The highest liquidity in the dollar market (and consequently the most favourable spreads) occurs when the stock exchanges in the United States open and banks in Europe are still open for business. For European businesses, the ideal time for currency exchange is usually between 2 pm and 6 pm local time.
Do I have to transfer the dollars into my bank account straight away after exchanging the zlotys?
Definitely not. The Trejdoo platform offers a free currency wallet feature. You can safely keep the dollars you’ve exchanged in your account for as long as you need. This is the ideal solution for importers who want to ‘lock in’ a favourable USD/PLN exchange rate right now, taking advantage of a temporary dip in the chart, but who do not intend to make the payment for an invoice to the US or Asia for another few weeks.
How quickly will a USD transfer reach my business partner, for example in the US?
The processing time for an international transfer in US dollars (a so-called SWIFT transfer) depends on the correspondent banks and the recipient’s time zone. Funds sent via Trejdoo usually reach the foreign counterparty’s account within 1 to a maximum of 3 working days. We are able to reduce this time thanks to our partnerships with global financial service providers.
