A free business account in Austria usually means no monthly account fee, not zero fees on everything. As of 11 May 2026, Finom offers a free starting plan with SEPA transfers and a card, Revolut Business has a free Basic plan, and Wise Business charges no monthly fee with a one time fee to open. Per transaction, ATM and currency conversion costs can still apply, and some allowances are capped on free plans. Confirm current fees with the provider.

What free means for a business account in Austria

A no monthly fee account removes the recurring account charge, but other fees can remain. Per transaction fees may apply once a free allowance is used, ATM withdrawals can cost, and currency conversion carries a margin on payments outside the euro. So a free headline can still cost money depending on how you trade. Compare the fee layer that matches your activity rather than the monthly price alone.

Accounts with no monthly fee

As of 11 May 2026, Finom offers a free starting plan with SEPA transfers and a card, then paid plans from a monthly fee for higher limits. Revolut Business has a free Basic plan with paid plans that add allowances. Wise Business charges no monthly fee, with a one time fee to open the account and activate local account details. Verify the current figures and any limits with each provider.

Costs that can still apply

Even on a free account, expect possible per transaction fees beyond the free allowance, ATM fees, and a currency conversion margin on payments outside the euro. As of 11 May 2026, Wise Business converts at the mid market rate plus a fee, and other providers apply a margin that varies by currency and plan. Confirm the current rate card with the provider.

What to check before you call an account free

When an account is described as free in Austria, check these points, as of 11 May 2026. Verify with the provider

  • Whether the no monthly fee is unconditional or comes with capped allowances on transfers and cards.
  • Per transaction fees once the free allowance is used, and any ATM fees.
  • The currency conversion margin and any transfer fees on payments outside the euro.

How to compare free accounts

  1. List how you actually transact, including monthly volume, card use and payments outside the euro.
  2. Check whether the free plan allowances cover your activity each month.
  3. Compare the per transaction and international costs, not just the zero monthly headline, and confirm with the provider before you apply.
