How multi currency accounts work for businesses in Italy

An Italian business account is usually denominated in euro and reaches the rest of the euro area through SEPA. A multi currency account adds the ability to hold balances in other currencies such as the pound or the dollar, receive payments in them, and convert when it suits the business. This helps exporters, importers, and online sellers cut the cost and delay of converting every payment. The trade off is that providers differ on which currencies they support and on the margin they add to conversion.

Providers that hold several currencies

As of 27 February 2026, Wise Business holds and converts more than 40 currencies near the mid market rate and can add local account details in the euro and several other currencies, with no monthly fee and a one time fee of about EUR 50 to enable the full set of details. Revolut Business holds a range of currencies across its plans, with a free Basic plan and paid plans for more allowances. Verify the current currency list and costs with the provider.

Where a euro account is enough

As of 27 February 2026, providers such as Qonto centre on the euro and SEPA payments with an Italian IBAN, which suits firms that trade mainly inside the euro area. A traditional bank such as Intesa Sanpaolo or UniCredit can also hold foreign currency where a wider banking relationship matters. Confirm the supported currencies and any account fees with the provider.

What to check before you rely on multi currency

When you compare multi currency accounts in Italy, check these points, as of 27 February 2026. Verify with the provider

  • Which currencies you can hold, receive and convert, and whether you get local account details for the ones you need.
  • The conversion margin and any fee above an included allowance, since a low headline can still carry a currency cost.
  • Whether the IBAN is Italian or issued in another country, which can matter for some clients and for accounting.

How to choose a multi currency account

  1. List the currencies you actually receive and pay, and how often you convert between them.
  2. Compare the conversion margin and the monthly cost across providers, not just the headline price.
  3. Confirm the supported currencies, the IBAN country and the current fees with the provider before you apply.
