How multi currency accounts work in France

A multi currency account gives a business one place to hold balances in several currencies, receive payments through local account details, and convert when the rate suits rather than on every incoming payment. This helps businesses that earn or spend abroad avoid converting twice and avoid a surprise conversion at a bank default rate. The currencies supported and the conversion margin vary by provider.

Holding and receiving currencies

As of 7 April 2026, Wise Business holds and receives more than 40 currencies and provides local account details in several, with free receiving in nine currencies after a one time opening fee of about EUR 50. Revolut Business holds several currencies on its plans with a euro account and a French IBAN. Qonto centres on the euro with a French IBAN and offers conversion for some currencies.
