[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Sending money to Poland

[LMPauling]

This has been suggested on the list before. Yes, Pekao Bank does money
transfers to Poland. Their Los Angeles office closed in April, but you can
use their head office in Chicago.
Pekao Trading Corporation
5395 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Chicago, IL 60630
Tel. (866) 234-8787

You can call or write them and ask for the form or perhaps they can actually
do it over the phone. The cost to transfer up to $100 to Bank Polski SA or
Bank Pekao SA is $10. Cost to accounts at other Polish banks for up to $100
is $15.
