A multi currency account helps a Swiss business that bills or pays in foreign currency by letting it hold and receive several currencies and convert when it chooses. As of 5 May 2026, Wise Business holds more than 40 currencies, Airwallex offers global accounts in many currencies, and Revolut Business supports multiple currencies on its plans. Some Swiss banks also offer foreign currency accounts alongside the franc. Conversion margins and account details vary, so verify current terms with the provider.

What a multi currency account does

A multi currency account lets you receive payments in different currencies, hold balances rather than converting straight away, and pay suppliers abroad without a forced conversion each time. For a company with foreign customers or overseas costs, this can reduce conversion charges and simplify reconciliation. The exact currencies and the conversion margin depend on the provider.

Costs to watch

The headline of a multi currency account is rarely the full cost. Watch the currency conversion margin, any fee to activate account details, and charges on international transfers. A small margin difference matters when you convert often, so compare the conversion pricing against your real volume.

Is a multi currency account worth it

  1. Estimate how much of your activity is in foreign currency and how often you convert.
  2. Compare the conversion margin and transfer fees, not just the monthly fee.
  3. Check which currencies you can actually receive into account details.
  4. Verify the current terms with the provider before you rely on them.
