Aspire provides a digital business account with multi currency wallets, physical and virtual cards, payments, and expense management, aimed at incorporated companies in the markets it supports. It is a financial technology company rather than a bank, and works with licensed financial partners to hold and move money.

Limitations

Aspire is a fintech, not a bank, so funds are not held as bank deposits and deposit insurance does not apply in the way it would at a licensed bank. It is built around a defined list of supported markets, so it is not available everywhere, and supported entity types vary. International transfer and conversion fees apply on top of the plan.
