Gain £204 a month with a Revolut Business bank account

We know that payment fees from are a massive frustration and can be really costly from a traditional bank account. It’s even worse when you work online, with clients from countries all over the world. You get charged terrible foreign exchange fees (FX fees) to get the money in your local currency and then they often charge a transaction fee on top of that!

We’ve heard stories of people losing 15% of their earnings down to these damn fees.

But, there is a solution. Twine has partnered with Revolut. They are the market leader in revolutionizing online banking for businesses and customers.

Cutting edge multi-currency bank account

Revolut’s Business account lets you hold, receive and exchange 29 currencies without any ridiculous bank charges. You can keep payments in the currency that you receive them in, and then only transfer them to your local currency when you need to.

This is particularly useful with USD, as so many online services charge in USD. In the past you would receive the money USD, exchange it to your local currency, which incurred a FX fee. Then you would buy a service or product in USD and pay another FX charge. That’s a double charge!

When directly comparing Revolut to PayPal, PayPal charge you up to 3.5% as a transaction fee, plus a 50 cent minimum, plus a hidden FX fee due to their poor exchange rates. When you add them all together it can often work out at over 7%.

With Revolut for business you pay:

+0.5% to all major currencies (ie. USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, NZD, CHF, JPY, SEK, HKD, NOK, SGD, DKK, PLN, and CZK); and

+1% to all other currencies including THB and UAH.
