A business account platform gives companies and sole traders an account to get paid, pay suppliers, spend on cards and manage money in one place. With a white-label platform, you can launch one under your own brand for a particular group, such as freelancers, a trade or a community you already know.
What business customers expect
- An account in their name with local account details.
- Cards for spending, often one per team member.
- Ways to get paid, such as payment links and invoices.
- Transfers and payouts to suppliers and staff.
- Clear fees and quick support.
Pick a niche
Big banks serve everyone the same way. A platform built for one group, such as builders, beauty salons or a diaspora business community, can win by speaking their language, pricing for how they work and being where they already are.

Launching on SendPay
The SendPay Business Account Platform is free to design and preview, with the full suite: GBP, EUR and USD accounts, branded Visa cards, payment links, invoicing and payouts. You launch when you are ready, and you set your own fees on transfers, currency exchange and plans.
Before you go live
Accounts and cards for the public usually need a licence or a licensed partner, and SendPay tells you in writing what applies before you launch. Everything behind a SendPay platform is powered by licensed partners, and you should call it an account or a platform, not a bank.
