Available with limits. As of 14 February 2026, OFX serves business customers connected to Finland through its multi currency Global Business Account and international payments service, regulated in the European Union through its Irish entity. It provides account details in euro and payments in 30 or more currencies, but it is a non cash payment facility rather than a Finnish bank deposit account. It suits cross border payments and holding foreign currency, not local cash handling.

Does OFX serve business customers in Finland?

Yes, with limits. OFX is an Australian listed international payments company that serves individuals and businesses across many countries, with European operations regulated through its Irish entity. A Finnish business can use OFX to send and receive international payments, hold balances and access local account details in currencies such as euro, United States dollar and British pound through the Global Business Account. OFX has moved newer business customers from the older Global Currency Account to the Global Business Account. This is a genuine service for Finnish businesses, but it operates as a cross border payments and FX provider rather than a Finnish bank, so the accurate position is available with limits.

Eligibility for businesses in Finland

OFX onboards registered businesses and verifies company and director details before activating an account. There is no monthly minimum, and the service is aimed at businesses that send or receive money internationally. Because OFX is a payments institution rather than a deposit taking bank, balances are held in safeguarded accounts rather than as insured bank deposits. As of 14 February 2026.

What it costs locally

OFX advertises no setup fee and no monthly account fee, and it makes its money mainly from the margin built into the exchange rate on conversions, with transfer fees that can be waived above a threshold. Rates and any fees vary by currency and amount. Confirm the current position with the provider before relying on any figure. As of 14 February 2026

What local users report

Finnish businesses that pay overseas suppliers or get paid by foreign clients use OFX mainly for the exchange rate and the ability to hold several currencies. Reviews commonly note competitive rates on larger transfers and access to human support, while pointing out that OFX does not replace a domestic euro current account for everyday Finnish banking. As of 14 February 2026, confirm the current position with the provider.
