Our goal at Loop is to make banking completely frictionless - wherever your business operates.
To do this, we offer the first truly global banking experience, meaning you can use Loop to open local accounts around the world and get paid in the countries and currencies that you sell to customers in.
With the launch of Euro and British Pound accounts, you can now send and receive payments like a local business across the US, Canada, UK and the Eurozone!
Local accounts are an easier, faster and cheaper way to collect payments as you operate around the world. Because you can collect payments locally, you can avoid bank fees like wire transfer costs as well as FX fees (which can be as high as 4%)! Additionally, many payments in Europe are connected to real-time payment networks which means payments are often instant or arrive within an hour.
Get everything you need to bank abroad — including a sort code, IBAN and more in seconds!
