Expert Rating
6.8/10
Multipass is a new multi-currency account option on the market with some nice initial features.

The exchange rate isn't hugely competitive, and there's a monthly fee of $100 - which you do not get with most other cross-border payment platforms.

This being said it includes ATM access in harder-to-reach locations and the ability to receive payments in INR and PHP.

There are no currency risk tools or API integration options available at the time of writing.

Multipass fees and costs

Fees for Multipass are a little higher than you would pay elsewhere, this includes a sign-up fee of $500 and a monthly fee of $100.

For comparison, Wise Business charges $37 for each local account you need to set up, and then just the 0.33% fee per transfer as standard.

With this, currency conversion fees are also higher. The 1.5% with Multipass is much greater than the mid-market rate starting point of Wise.

For an additional comparison, with Sokin there's no transfer fees, and exchange rates start from 0.3%.

There's also no monthly fees for Wise or Sokin, compared to the $100 fee for Multipass.

High fees for balance enquiries in comparison to competitors, and 1.5% cash withdrawal fees means customers should avoid using ATMs with the cards. This is similar across the entire market.

Batch payments

Batch payments are supported in all currencies and destinations being used in your account. These are processed via SWIFT, SEPA and Faster Payments. This is similar to sending through Sokin or Wise Business.

Uploading payment details is straightforward, as the service accepts files in CSV format. You can download a pre-filled template to ensure the correct file structure and populate it with your payment data.

Individual transactions within a batch are capped at €15,000, but there are no restrictions on the number of payments included. Sokin is the next nearest option to unlimited, with 5,000 batches.

Additionally, the real-time tracking feature in the “History” section allows you to monitor the status of each payment, ensuring transparency and control over your transactions.

Eligibility

Multipass accepts users from a wide range of countries and industries, but as with all cross-border payment platforms, there are restrictions.
