The UK is an important international financial centre and UK consumers and businesses frequently need to receive, hold, convert or send money internationally.
For UK businesses
Companies trading internationally may need a combination of business accounts, multi-currency functionality, foreign-exchange services and international payments.
- International business accounts
- USD business accounts
- EUR business accounts
- Receive international payments
- Business FX
For individuals
International transfers
Different providers have different legal structures, eligibility requirements and customer protections. Check the status and current product information of the provider before opening an account or transferring money.
Build your UK international-money setup around the flow
Consider how you receive money, which currencies you need to hold, when conversion happens and where payments are ultimately sent. Business and personal requirements can lead to different provider choices.
Verify the serving entity
Do not assume that every balance or product offered under a global brand has the same protection. Confirm the legal entity, product and current terms that apply to your account.
