Outside of this expense management and payment gateways are supported. Although not as competitive as other options.
The pricing model for Revolut Business also makes them a little better for regular spending vs smaller amounts.

Supported accounts and currencies
Within Revolut Business you can hold up to 25 currencies, as well as make regular payments with them. These are essentially IBAN accounts.
Local accounts are available in USD and GBP only. So likely businesses registered outside of these areas will find Wise Business or Airwallex a better solution, particularly for EUR or CAD coverage.
Country | Local account details |
---|---|
United States | Account number, ACH routing number, Wire routing number |
UK | Sort code, Account number |
CAD in particular is of note for Revolut, in that they left the market several years back and no longer support businesses within Canada. They do however support transfers to and from the currency.

Account limits on transfers
Because of the nature of Revolut Business fees, the price you pay will impact the amount of money that can be sent before certain limits are hit.
Here's how each option differs:
Basic | Grow | Scale | Enterprise | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Price (monthly) | $0 | From $30 | From $119 | Custom |
No-fee International Transfers | 0 | 5 | 25 | Custom |
No-fee Local Transfers | 5 | 100 | 1,000 | Custom |
Currency Exchange at Mid-market Rate | $1,000 | $10,000 | $50,000 | Custom |
Then, the actual limits on transfers are:
Limit type | Limit |
---|---|
Outbound payments | $175,000 |
Inbound payments | $1 million |
Cards and virtual cards
Revolut Business has a strong virtual card offering, with up to 200 at any one time available.
It is possible to issue 3 physical cards per team member as well.
The benefit here, this is across all levels of the account, so is also available to basic users.
Expense management
Expense management with Revolut Business is only available on higher-tiered accounts.
This means paying from $30 a month to access the feature, which would allow for receipt uploads and payment approvals.
If you're looking for something to keep track of fuel expenses, we'd suggest looking into fuel cards, as they will be cheaper and more tailored to your needs.
ATM points
ATM withdrawals on Revolut Business are charged at 2% of the withdrawal amount, even on higher tiers.
This is high, and you may expect a little leeway on higher-tiered accounts.
This being said it is not uncommon for multi-currency platforms to charge for this feature (for example Wise Business is also upwards of 2% for transfers.)
