ISK/PLN: what to know
The ISK/PLN rate shows how much PLN you get for 1 ISK. Right now, 1 ISK buys 0.0310 PLN at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 PLN is worth 32.2580 ISK.
In the short term ISK is driven mainly by tourism, fishing and commodity prices, while PLN responds to NBP policy, EU flows and regional sentiment.
The Icelandic Krona (ISK) is issued by Central Bank of Iceland. After the 2008 crisis Iceland withdrew its cents (aurar) — only whole krónur circulate. The Polish Zloty (PLN) is issued by National Bank of Poland (NBP). “Złoty” literally means “golden”, a name dating back to medieval gold coins.
For anyone in Poland, this is the mid-market reference to compare against your bank or kantor before exchanging. Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
