What Features Can You Expect?

With a Payset US business account, you’ll get:

How Can I Use My US Business Account?

Handle Payments for Your Industry

Whether your company operates solely in the US or in multiple markets, Payset accounts are useful across a wide variety of industries.

Opening an account offers a multitude of options: process payments across a supply chain, manage capital for your holding company, handle payments for your e-commerce site, or pay contractors in the events and travel industry. 

And you can use your account whether you’re handling inbound or outbound payments, or just storing funds — it’s all possible with Payset.

If you’re not sure whether our accounts fit your specific needs, get in touch, and we’ll try to find a tailored solution that works for you.

Manage Employee Spending

By leveraging Payset’s team accounts and spending control features, you’ll be able to control how your staff accesses shared funds.

From your online dashboard, you can instantly assign user permissions, set spending rules, or require joint transaction approvals. Plus, you can monitor transactions in real time to ensure they’re properly completed.

This is especially useful for US companies that manage large teams, rely on remote contractors and employees, or oversee any sort of group, providing full visibility and control no matter how far your business reaches globally.

Perform Bulk Transactions

You can also perform bulk payments through the Payset dashboard, making it easy to pay all of your staff, suppliers, or subcontractors. 

Just upload a spreadsheet (CSV/XLSX) with a list of names and initiate the full list of payments at once. See this page for more details on how to do it.

US companies stand to benefit greatly from this feature: by bringing company-wide payments under a single, easy-to-use dashboard, you can expect to save time and reduce the risk of error when managing complex payrolls.

And combined with cross-border payments, it’s even more useful when paying a distributed network of global employees and partners. 

Get Real-Time FX Rates

With Payset, you don’t just get a vast selection of currencies and features — you also get full access to our foreign exchange with real-time rates. 


You’ll get to see every FX trading cost, with full transparency into the interbank rate and Payset’s own fees. Our margins usually range from 0.25%-1.00%, but you can use our FX rate calculator for a more precise estimate.

By taking advantage of our FX platform, American companies can go beyond the US dollar with 38 currencies including EUR, GBP, CAD, and more.

A UK multi-currency account can streamline how you manage your finances. Whether for business or personal use, a multi-currency account provides you with added freedom and flexibility and removes barriers to payments and transfer methods.

Here is everything you need to know about UK multi-currency accounts.

A Payset UK 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 endless time and money on foreign exchange, and money transfers, which from a traditional bank account would be far more expensive and slow.

From your personal UK-based 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 send funds using a diverse network of payment networks, including SWIFT, SEPA, Target2, Faster Payments, CHAPS, and more.

When you exchange funds from one currency to another, there are no margins added to our exchange rates and the fees are clearly displayed before you click send. If you, for example, work with multiple currencies, make purchases in other countries, travel frequently, invest in foreign currencies, pay staff in other countries, or receive payments in other currencies, a multi-currency account can save you time, money, and work compared to a traditional bank account.

There are lots of banking institutions and financial services that will aid you in opening a multi-currency account. Often they can allow you to convert and transfer a considerable number of currencies.

Before you open a UK multi-currency account with any platform or service, make sure you have explored all of the different options available to you and have found the best type of account to suit your financial needs.

How Does a UK Multi-Currency Account Work?

A UK multi-currency account works in the same way as a standard bank account or electronic wallet. Although the services provided will change depending on where you choose to open your account and who you choose to open the account with, all multi-currency accounts should allow you to:

In the same way that fees can occur with a standard bank account you may run into additional charges with a UK multi-currency account.

You could be charged for a number of actions including; making withdrawals, account opening and closure fees, transfer fees, and more.

The frequency or amount of these charges will often vary and if you ask your banking agency they will usually be able to tell you exactly how much you will be charged and which services you will be charged for before you open your account.

Alternative Options to Consider Before Opening a UK Multi-Currency Account

There are many alternatives to opening a UK multi-currency account. For example, there are also money transfer services and online electronic wallets such as Payset that allow you to send your money in over 34 currencies without the need for a UK multi-currency account. You can start sending money across the globe or in person today using your existing bank account.
