No. As of 27 May 2026, Novo does not serve business customers registered in Canada. Novo is a United States business banking platform that requires a business registered in the United States and an owner with a United States address and Social Security number. A company registered only in Canada cannot open a Novo account.

Does Novo serve business customers in Canada?

No. Novo provides business checking to companies registered in the United States, with an owner who holds a United States address and a Social Security number. Sole proprietors, unregistered businesses and companies registered outside the United States do not qualify. A business registered only in Canada does not meet these requirements, so it cannot open a Novo account.

Eligibility for businesses in Canada

Novo requires a business formally registered in the United States, such as an LLC, corporation or a United States sole proprietorship, and an owner who provides a United States address and a Social Security number along with a United States mobile number. Businesses registered outside the United States, including in Canada, do not qualify. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no local Canada pricing because the account is not offered to businesses registered in Canada. Novo advertises a business checking account with no monthly fee, no minimum balance and accounts held in United States dollars. The Canadian dollar and Canadian account details are not offered. As of 27 May 2026

What local users report

There is no established base of Canada business users, since the account requires a United States registered business. Canadian companies that want a low cost digital business account generally use providers that operate in the Canadian market.

Novo does not appear to serve business customers in Canada as of 27 May 2026, or the position is unclear. Verify directly with the provider. Providers confirmed available in Canada are listed on the Canada country guide.
