Both have a place. A traditional bank offers cheques, WPS payroll and certain government payments; this solution offers faster onboarding, multi-currency capability and no monthly charge. Many businesses use both.
We identify the real requirement, explain it plainly, and handle the steps — so you understand what you are signing before you sign it.
Where each is stronger.
Typical setups that use both.
Monthly versus per-use.
Based on your flows.
We aim to keep onboarding clear and efficient while completing all required verification and compliance checks. Approval is not guaranteed and rests with the provider.
| Fee type | Applies? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly account charge | None | No maintenance fee for keeping the account open |
| Transaction fees | Per schedule | Shown before each payment; varies by type and currency |
| Currency conversion | Transparent margin | Rate and margin displayed before you convert |
| Transfer fees | Per corridor | Local and international routes priced differently |
| Third-party charges | May apply | Correspondent or receiving-bank charges outside the provider's control |
| Government / compliance | Where applicable | Any regulatory or attestation costs are separate |
| Optional services | Priced separately | Only if you choose them |
Exact schedules are provided before activation. Availability of features and currencies depends on eligibility and configuration.
We review entity type, activity, ownership and countries involved and tell you honestly whether to proceed.
Checklist by entity type; we pre-review everything before submission.
Application submitted; identity and compliance verification completed, sometimes with a short video check.
Account activated; currency balances and receiving details set up where supported.
Guidance on first payments and receipts, limits and documentation.
For international flows often yes; for WPS, cheques and some government payments a bank is still needed.
This solution typically onboards in days once documents are complete.
Funds are held through licensed partners under applicable safeguarding rules; details provided at onboarding.
