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.

"The main difference when paying directly through Payhawk, compared to traditional banks, is that transaction fees are generally lower, and the foreign exchange rates used are often more favorable for us. Now, almost all payments can be processed directly through Payhawk, which simplifies our work and enables timely tracking of all payments. It gives us new visibility into liquidity and upcoming liabilities, which is extremely helpful for cost planning."
