What is a multi-currency account and what are the benefits over a traditional bank account?

A multi-currency account allows you to hold multiple currencies in one account and transfer funds to a bank or other Payset client with low foreign exchange anywhere in the world.

A Payset multi-currency account is a single account with which you can hold, send, and receive funds in up to 38 currencies. This allows business or personal account holders to save significant time and money on foreign exchange and money transfers, which from a traditional bank account would often be more expensive and slower.

Depending on the currency and sub-account setup, your account may include an IBAN, Sort Code, or local Account Number to facilitate easier and faster local and international payments.

From your personal IBAN account, you can transfer money to bank accounts around the world, as well as send and receive free and instant transfers to and from other Payset clients. You can use a wide range of global and local payment networks such as SWIFT, SEPA, Target2, Faster Payments, CHAPS, and more.

When exchanging funds between currencies, our low-margin FX rates and transparent fees are displayed upfront before you complete the transaction.

If you work with multiple currencies, pay staff internationally, purchase goods or services abroad, receive payments from different countries, or travel and invest globally, a multi-currency account provides a modern, cost-efficient alternative to traditional banking.
