Checking today's date…
Where the answer comes from
Public holidays
Weekends and holidays follow from the Polish act on public holidays. The dates of movable feasts, such as Easter or Corpus Christi, come from the official list for the year; we don't compute them ourselves. The calendar reaches the end of 2028.
ELIXIR sessions
KIR settles transfers between banks in ELIXIR sessions from Monday to Friday, except public holidays, under the Elixir system's rulebook. The session hours come from KIR's schedule, confirmed on 5 October 2026.
GPW sessions
Every year the GPW Management Board names the days without a session in a resolution; some of them are days when banks work. A day whose GPW calendar we haven't confirmed is marked as not confirmed.
Confirmed resolutions on the days without a session: for 2026, 2027, 2028.
Sources: the Polish act on public holidays, the rulebook and schedule of KIR's Elixir system, the GPW Management Board's resolutions on days without a session.
Frequently asked questions
Will a transfer arrive on a Saturday or a holiday?
An ordinary transfer to another bank won't: KIR settles ELIXIR transfers only from Monday to Friday, except public holidays, so it goes out on the next business day.
Do banks settle transfers on Christmas Eve?
No. Since 2025 Christmas Eve has been a public holiday, so KIR runs no ELIXIR sessions on it.
Are there all the ELIXIR sessions on the last business day of the year?
No. On the year's last settlement day KIR runs no third session: a transfer handed to KIR after 13:30 goes out only in the new year.
Is GPW always open when banks are?
Not always. Every year the GPW Management Board names days without a session, and some of them are business days. Transfers then go as usual, and orders on GPW wait for the next session.
