Revolut Business Rates

Opening a business account with Revolut comes with its own set of plan fees and transfer rates that cater to businesses of all sizes. Let’s get an overview of the plans they offer and what sorts of fees you’ll have to pay for things like transfers and currency exchange.

Revolut Business Rates: Plans

One way that Revolut separates its rates for businesses is through a plan structure. This structure is separated by business size, with basic users being able to get started for $0/month. Let's take a deeper look.

Revolut has four tiered business plans:

Basic ($0/month), Grow ($30/month), Scale (from $119/month), and Enterprise (Custom), all of which come with borderless accounts that let you receive USD and EUR like a local.

The Basic plan lets you get started with all the core features, such as recurring and scheduled payments, holding and exchanging 25+ currencies, team spending features, and 5 no-fee local transfers, among others. Basic plan members also get to exchange $1,000/month at the interbank rate (without their markup)

The Grow plan takes things up a notch, with 5 no-fee international transfers and 100 no-fee local transfers. You’ll also be able to make bulk payments, exchange $10,000/month at the interbank rate, get a complimentary metal Revolut card, and the full suite of team spending features, including analytics.

The most robust tier is the Scale plan, where you can get 25 no-fee international transfers and 1,000 no-fee local transfers. Plan members get 2 complementary metal spending cards, as well as all the features offered in the Scale plan.

If you’re a larger business or enterprise, Revolut offers a Custom plan with the full suite of Revolut features, including the additional account management feature. Members will discuss custom no-fee monthly rates for international and local transfers, a custom currency exchange cap at the interbank rate, and a set amount of metal cards.²

Wise Interest Feature

If you’d like to earn 4.85% annual percentage yield (APY)¹⁹ on your USD balance while you expand your business, you can opt-in to our interest feature for Wise Business. When you opt-in to earn interest in your USD balance account, you get the security of up to $250,000 in passthrough FDIC insurance on your USD balance from our Program Bank²⁰ (subject to change, certain limitations apply, see Program Agreement to learn more).

Your USD balance will be held with our Program Bank where Wise earns interest. We use a small portion of the interest we earn on these funds to cover our operating expenses and we pass the rest along to you.

The rate we can offer is dependent upon our Program Bank, and we’ll always let you know if there are any rate changes. See our website for more details.

PayPal

PayPal’s reputation in the digital payments sphere is what sets it apart from other platforms.

PayPal comes with a host of features, but a whole host of fees as well that depend on the payment type and where the business owner is located. For example, the standard rate for receiving local transactions ranges from 2.29% + $0.30 - 3.49% + $0.30, while there’s an extra 1.50% fee for international commercial transactions. The fixed fee also changes depending on the currency received. Currency conversions come with a markup of 3 - 4%.⁷

Payoneer

Payoneer looks to simplify cross-border payments and make it easy for marketplace sellers to conduct business internationally, freelancers to get paid, and businesses to manage their connections worldwide.

If the recipient doesn’t have a Payoneer account, you’ll be charged a fee of up to 3% of the transaction amount. For USD to USD payments, there’s a 1.50 USD charge. When getting paid directly by clients, there’s a 3% fee for credit cards and 1% for ACH bank debits. Currency conversion rates depend on the wholesale currency market rates at the time and come with a conversion fee.¹⁰
