A multi currency account lets a business in Germany hold, receive and send money in several currencies from one place, which reduces converting twice when you trade abroad. As of 24 February 2026 the common choices are Wise Business, which holds more than 40 currencies at the mid market rate, Revolut Business, which holds a range of currencies, and Finom and Qonto, which pair a German IBAN with foreign payment features. The right pick depends on the currencies you use and whether you need a German IBAN. Confirm supported currencies and conversion costs with the provider.

How multi currency accounts work in Germany

A multi currency account holds balances in more than one currency, so you can receive a payment in dollars or pounds, keep it in that currency, and convert when the rate suits you rather than on every transaction. For an importer, exporter, software company or any business with overseas customers and suppliers, this can cut conversion costs and make pricing clearer. The features that matter are the currencies supported, the exchange rate used, local account details to receive like a local, and whether you also get a German IBAN for domestic use. As of 24 February 2026.

Exchange rate and account details

Wise Business uses the mid market rate and charges a stated conversion fee, and provides local account details in several markets, though the underlying euro IBAN is Belgian. Revolut Business uses the interbank rate within plan limits and currently issues a Lithuanian IBAN, with a German IBAN being rolled out. Finom and Qonto offer foreign payment features alongside a German IBAN. The currencies, the rate and any limits vary by provider and plan, so confirm the foreign exchange terms with the provider. As of 24 February 2026.

When a German IBAN matters

Some German counterparties, and direct debits to the Finanzamt and to social security, work more smoothly with a German IBAN. If that matters to you, a provider that issues a German IBAN, such as Finom, N26 or Qonto, can be more convenient than one that gives a foreign IBAN with local details. If your position is unclear, verify what is supported with the provider. As of 24 February 2026.
