The Provider Index

The journal keeps one drawer per article.

Each piece is filed the way a register files a firm: by the legal question it answers, dated the day we checked it. Scroll, and the drawers open one after another.

  1. CompareMulti currency business accounts, compared by what the details and the rate really costForty currencies on a landing page can mean twenty two you can actually be paid in. A comparison of four providers by local details, IBAN country, markup over the rate and the flat fees nobody puts in the headline.
  2. AccessHow long a frozen business account actually stays frozenA freeze runs on a provider's review clock, a statutory clock nobody may mention, or a complaint clock you start yourself. What each provider promises, what the law allows, and what shortens the damage.
  3. CompareWise Business against Revolut Business, read as two legal entities and two price modelsOne is a bank in the UK and charges by the month. The other is an e-money institution and charges by the conversion. The cheaper one depends on your monthly volume, and the numbers meet at about 15,000 pounds.
  4. ChooseThe best business account for a startup in Europe depends on the stage the company is atA company in formation, a founder trading in their own name and an incorporated startup with a US shareholder are refused and accepted by different providers. Sort by eligibility first, then by price.
  5. SafeguardingWhat a safeguarding account is, and what it is notOne pooled account in the firm's name, a ledger kept by the same firm, and since May 2026 a daily reconciliation and an annual audit. Here is what each of those does and does not tell a customer.
  6. ProtectionAre neobank deposits protected? It depends on the licence, not the appA bank licence brings a compensation scheme. An e-money licence brings a duty to keep your money apart. The two fail very differently, and the app looks the same either way.
