Costs · Concept

What a business account actually costs.

Account cost is rarely one number. It is a set of fees from several parties — the provider, the payment networks and, if you use one, an adviser — and which of them apply depends on how you use the account, not only on the account type.

How to read a fee schedule

Four separate places money can leave the account.

A fee schedule usually mixes one-off charges, recurring charges, per-transaction charges and the exchange-rate margin. Comparing two providers by a single headline fee tends to hide the one that matters most for your own payment pattern.

What actually decides eligibility

Not one-size-fits-all.

01

Account fees

Some providers charge an opening or onboarding fee, a recurring monthly or annual fee, or both; others charge neither. Whether a fee applies, and how much, is set by the provider and disclosed before you proceed.

02

Payment fees

Sending or receiving a payment can carry a fixed fee, a percentage, or both, and the amount typically differs between SEPA, SWIFT and transfers inside the same provider.

03

Exchange-rate margin

When a payment is converted between currencies, the rate offered can differ from the mid-market rate. That margin is a cost even when no separate conversion fee is shown.

04

Other costs to ask about

Card issuing, additional IBANs, statements and reporting, account closure and correspondent-bank deductions on SWIFT payments are common line items worth asking about.

Five steps, one point of contact.

01

Submit your company profile

Tell us about your structure, activity and payment needs — the essentials, not a full application.

Latynex reviews the case

We assess the structure and requirements against what providers typically accept before recommending a direction.

03

Provider matching & preliminary eligibility

We identify a suitable regulated provider and explain what is realistically available for your case.

04

Provider onboarding

You complete official KYC/KYB directly with the regulated financial provider — not with Latynex.

05

Account decision & activation

The provider makes the final decision and activates the account. We stay involved if anything needs coordinating.

What Latynex is, and isn't

An introducer, not a bank.

Latynex is not a bank or electronic money institution. Financial accounts and payment services are provided by independent, regulated financial institutions. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the selected provider, following its own KYC/KYB review.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Latynex charge for an introduction?+

Any Latynex fee is disclosed to you separately and in advance, and it is distinct from what the provider charges. Provider fees are set and disclosed by the provider itself.

Can I get a fixed price before I apply?+

Not from Latynex on a provider's behalf: the provider's own fee schedule applies and the provider states it before you accept. Some fees depend on how you use the account and cannot be fixed in advance.

Is Latynex a bank?+

No. Latynex is not a bank, EMI or payment institution. We review your case and, where suitable, introduce it to an independent, regulated financial provider who handles the account itself.

Can Latynex guarantee approval?+

No. No introducer can guarantee a banking or payment-account decision. The provider you are introduced to runs its own KYC/KYB review and makes the final call under its own policies.

What documents are normally required?+

Typically: certificate of incorporation, register of directors and shareholders, proof of UBO identity and address, a description of business activity, and evidence of source of funds. Exact requirements vary by provider.

What affects the cost?+

Setup and ongoing fees vary with jurisdiction, ownership structure, business activity, expected turnover and compliance profile. The provider discloses its fees before you proceed, and any Latynex advisory fee is disclosed separately.
