Pros and cons

Pros

  • No monthly fee at $0, the same level as the €0 seen across business accounts
  • Currencies covered reach 15, above the site median of 5
  • Deposits are covered by FSCS up to GBP 85,000
  • Payouts go to bank and card, so money can leave for a bank account or a card

Cons

  • Support runs on help centre only, so questions go through written help rather than a phone line or live chat
  • A SWIFT transfer costs $8, and local collections and local payouts carry their own charges on top
  • Every conversion still costs 0.1% to 0.6%, so heavy currency use adds up over a month

Who it suits

  • Businesses and sole traders paying suppliers in several markets
  • Freelancers and contractors invoicing overseas clients
  • Anyone collecting payments in a currency other than their own

Who should look elsewhere

  • PayPal Colombia, if you want a higher deposit protection ceiling than FSCS up to GBP 85,000
  • Skrill, if a simpler single market wallet matches your payment volume
  • Plazo ES, if you want a euro account with no conversion step

Deposit protection

Money held in the account is covered by FSCS up to GBP 85,000, which applies to eligible deposits rather than to conversion losses. Currenxie Ltd holds a money service operator licence in 14-05-01424, an authorised electronic money institution licence in 901010 and an electronic money institution licence in C471225. Permissions also cover ABN 15621566309, M20910536 and C100000855.

Fees and FX

The account carries a monthly fee of $0, so there is no standing charge for holding it. Currency conversion is the main cost, with fees running 0.1% to 0.6% depending on the pair you move, and the exchange rate margin in the same band. Transfers add their own charge per local collection or local payout, and $8 for a SWIFT transfer.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Currenxie account cost each month?+

The monthly fee is $0, so there is no standing charge for keeping the account open. Most of the cost sits in currency conversion instead, which runs 0.1% to 0.6% depending on the pair you move. That makes the account cheap to hold and to keep idle, but not free to use heavily.

What does it cost to convert currency?+

Currency conversion fees run 0.1% to 0.6%, and the exchange rate margin sits in the same band. For comparison, the site median for this kind of fee is 0.5%, so conversions land below the middle of the market. If you move money often, this is the number that decides your monthly bill.

Are my deposits protected?+

Eligible deposits are covered by FSCS up to GBP 85,000. That cover applies to the money you hold in the account rather than to losses from a weak exchange rate, so the conversion charge still matters even with protection in place. Money moved out of the account is not covered.

Which currencies can I hold and receive?+

The account covers 15 currencies, and you get local account details in the form of iban. Suppliers paid in a local currency can pay you without going through a conversion first, which removes both the delay and the conversion charge on incoming payments.

Which licence holds the account?+

It is an authorised electronic money institution in the UK under 901010, with an electronic money institution licence in C471225 and a money service operator licence in 14-05-01424. Remittance permissions also apply in ABN 15621566309 and C100000855, so the account can be used across several markets.

How do I get money out?+

Payouts go to bank and card, so you can send to a bank account or to a card. Each payout carries its own charge, and a SWIFT transfer costs $8 on its own. Plan the payout route first, because the choice changes both the fee and the speed.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on help centre, so questions go through the help centre rather than a phone line or live chat. If you need to resolve a failed payout quickly, that difference in support channel is worth weighing against the fees before you put your volume through the account.
