Available with limits. As of 4 February 2026, OFX serves business customers connected to Germany through its multi currency Global Business Account and international payments service, regulated in the European Union through its Irish entity. It provides local account details in euro and payments in 30 or more currencies, but it is a non cash payment facility rather than a German bank deposit account. It suits cross border payments and holding foreign currency, not local cash handling.

Does OFX serve business customers in Germany?

Yes, with limits. OFX offers a multi currency Global Business Account and an international payments service to businesses in Europe, regulated in the European Union through its entity authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland. A business can hold and manage funds in 30 or more currencies, receive into local account details in euro, pound, United States dollar and Canadian dollar, and pay suppliers in many countries. OFX describes the account as a virtual transaction account and non cash payment facility, so it complements rather than replaces a local German current account. As of 4 February 2026.

Eligibility for businesses in Germany

OFX opens accounts to registered businesses that complete its online registration and pass identity and business verification. Applicants create the account online and verify with identification. Some activities and customer types are not accepted, and the availability of specific features can vary, so confirm that your business and use case are eligible with the provider. As of 4 February 2026. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

OFX does not advertise a monthly account fee on its business account and instead earns a margin over the mid market exchange rate on conversions. Holding balances and receiving into local currency details can avoid some transfer fees, while sending payments in a currency you do not hold involves a conversion at the OFX rate. Confirm current pricing and any thresholds with the provider before relying on a figure. As of 4 February 2026. As of 4 February 2026

What local users report

Businesses in Germany that trade across borders use OFX to hold euro and foreign currency, receive from overseas marketplaces and pay suppliers abroad at rates they find competitive against a traditional bank. Users note that it is a payments and currency tool rather than a full current account, so many pair it with a local German account for payroll, taxes and cash. As of 4 February 2026.

  2. Verify your business and identity with the documents OFX requests.
