Does Relay serve business customers in Canada?
No, not for a Canada registered business. Relay is a US online business banking platform whose accounts are held with a US partner bank and issued in US dollars. It accepts owners from many countries, including Canada, but the business itself must be formed in the United States with a US employer identification number. A business registered only in Canada cannot open a Relay account as of 22 February 2026.
Eligibility for businesses in Canada
Relay expects a US business entity, such as an LLC or corporation, a US employer identification number, and identity verification for the owners, who may be resident in Canada or elsewhere. A business that exists only in Canada, without a US entity, does not meet these requirements. Verify with the provider
What it costs locally
There is no Canadian pricing because Relay accounts are US dollar accounts for US businesses. Relay advertises no monthly fee on its standard plan and a paid Relay Pro tier, both priced in US dollars, so there is no Canadian dollar fee schedule to quote. As of 22 February 2026
What local users report
Canadian founders who also run a US business sometimes use Relay for their US dollar operations, but for a company that operates and is registered in Canada there is no Canadian dollar Relay account. Businesses needing a Canadian dollar account should look at providers confirmed to serve the market.
