As of 12 May 2026, Bluevine serves business owners resident in United Kingdom, but only for a business that is registered in the United States. United Kingdom is on Bluevine's list of supported countries for international owners, so a resident can open a United States business checking account with a passport and an EIN, with no United States Social Security number required. Bluevine does not open accounts for a business that is a United Kingdom legal entity, and it does not hold pound sterling, so read the limits below before you apply.

Does Bluevine serve business customers in United Kingdom?

Partly. Bluevine is a United States financial technology company, with banking services provided by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC. In addition to United States residents, it now onboards international owners who reside in a set of supported countries, and United Kingdom is on that list as of 12 May 2026. The account it opens is a United States business checking account for a United States registered LLC or corporation. Bluevine states it is not available to non United States business entities, so a company that exists only as a United Kingdom entity cannot open one. As of 12 May 2026.

Eligibility for businesses in United Kingdom

To qualify, Bluevine asks for a United States registered LLC or corporation with a valid EIN, a valid passport for each beneficial owner who holds 25 percent or more, residency in a supported country such as United Kingdom, and the ability to complete on camera identity verification. A United States Social Security number is not required, and you do not need to travel to the United States. Sole proprietorships and nonprofits are not eligible. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no separate United Kingdom price list, because the account is a United States dollar account. The Standard business checking plan has no monthly fee and pays 1.3 percent APY on balances up to 250,000 United States dollars, with free standard ACH transfers and unlimited transactions. The Plus plan is 30 United States dollars a month and the Premier plan is 95 United States dollars a month, each waivable if you meet qualifying spend and balance conditions, and they pay higher APY of 1.75 percent and 3.0 percent. Incoming domestic wires are free and incoming international wires cost 25 United States dollars, while outgoing international wires cost 25 United States dollars when sent in United States dollars, with a 1.5 percent charge added for payments sent in a foreign currency. Balances are held in United States dollars, so there is no pound sterling account, and lending, credit, and treasury products are not offered to international owners. As of 12 May 2026

What local users report

Bluevine reports more than one million businesses on its platform and more than two billion United States dollars on deposit, though that base is mostly United States owners. Owners in United Kingdom who use it generally run a United States registered company and want United States dollar banking, deposits that are FDIC insured through the partner bank, and online onboarding without a United States Social Security number. Those who need a pound sterling account or local payment rails usually pair Bluevine with a United Kingdom provider. As of 12 May 2026, confirm the current position with the provider before relying on it.
