What kind of accounts and payment options does Payhawk offer?

Payhawk is a single platform for company spend: you can open business accounts with dedicated IBANs, issue physical and virtual Visa cards, make local and cross-border payments, and manage reimbursements and approvals — all with full control and visibility. Global bank transfers run on J.P. Morgan infrastructure for reliability and reach.

Which currencies and countries can I open accounts in?

You can open accounts for entities in 33 countries and in seven currencies, each with its own dedicated IBAN/account number. Funding is instant via linked bank accounts.

How do Payhawk cards work (debit vs. credit, FX, and mobile wallets)?

You can issue virtual or physical Visa cards to employees anywhere and add them to Apple Pay and Google Pay. Use debit (seven currencies) or credit (USD, GBP, EUR) depending on control or cash-flow needs, subject to assessment. You can avoid FX fees in seven base currencies, with competitive FX elsewhere.

Can employees be reimbursed in their local currency?

Yes. Employees submit receipts in 60+ languages and can be reimbursed in 115+ currencies — submission, approval, and payout are handled in one flow.

Is Payhawk regulated and are funds and data protected?

Payhawk is an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) in the UK and EEA and a Visa Principal Member, enabling direct card issuance and safeguarded client funds. Security includes PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, 3-D Secure, and real-time fraud/risk controls.

Can I manage multiple entities and currencies from one place?

Yes - Payhawk is built for multi-entity, multi-currency operations. You can open accounts across 33 countries, hold balances in seven currencies, set card and payment controls at user or team level, and manage everything from a single platform.

"The international aspect of Payhawk is super important to us, particularly the ability to flick through the different dashboards to find out exactly when and where a transaction happened. Plus, we pay per platform rather than per transaction, which is vital to us as a hospitality business."
