Kantor is a currency exchange service in Poland that involves exchanging foreign currencies for zloty or vice versa, but in some cases the exchange can be made between the currencies of other countries. Such activities must be registered in the register of foreign exchange activities under the supervision of the National Bank of Poland. Entry into the register usually does not take more than 1 month.
Who can open a Cantor?
Currency exchange activities can be carried out by an individual or legal entity who has not been convicted of offenses for the purpose of material profit, or for offenses in the tax area. This also implies annual confirmation from the founders of no criminal record in these aspects.
What are the requirements for this type of business?
- Accounting. The exchange office must establish a record of all transactions that lead to a change in the state of the currency value or the Polish currency.
- Continuity of work. During the opening hours of the exchange office, it must carry out the continuous purchase and sale of foreign currency assets. The exchange office must also provide access to current announcements of the National Bank of Poland containing information about the currencies being traded.
- Evidence of purchase and sale. The Cantor must issue a document itself that proves the purchase and sale for each transaction concerning currency assets
