Amaiz business account review
Business accounts for sole traders at a single monthly fee: is Amaiz any good?

Sole traders sometimes use a personal bank account for their business finances. However, it’s much more practical to keep your business and personal finances separate. It can also help when you come to do your tax return.
If you’re considering a business-only account, you might want to look at Amaiz. This business account is certainly packed with features, but it’s not necessarily the cheapest option. So let’s take a closer look.
Amaiz is a relatively new fintech company that offers digital-only current accounts to sole traders and limited companies. It fully launched in June 2019 and its account features bring together banking, invoicing and international transfers.
You can open an Amaiz account in a few minutes from the app. You get an account and a debit card, plus a series of useful app features to manage your business finances:
The account does (almost) all you can expect: you can make bank transfers, set up and manage your direct debits, plus send money abroad.
The card lets you make payments and withdraw cash from ATMs both in the UK and abroad.
Amaiz offers three different pricing plans – a free option, Business + which costs £49 a month, plus VAT, or Enterprise which costs £99 a month, plus VAT. The paid-for accounts also have an onboarding fee. This is £100 for Business + and £250-£1,000 with Enterprise.
Faster Payment transactions and UK ATM withdrawals are free of charge and you can withdraw up to £850 per day. But there’s a £2 virtual card issuing fee, which rises to £10 for a plastic card. Certain transaction fees also apply.

Amaiz isn’t a fully licensed bank, so there’s no deposit protection on your funds.
However, it is fully regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to hold electronic money. Your money will be held in a separate client account that cannot be touched by Amaiz. So your deposits can’t be lent out and are safe even if the company were to go bust.

As we said, Amaiz isn’t the cheapest business account on the market, especially if you sometimes need to take your card abroad. Starling Bank, for example, offers solid business accounts that come with both zero monthly fees and fee-free spending abroad.
However, the wide range of features, including invoicing and budgeting tools, partially make up for that. An Amaiz account is certainly a commitment but can be extremely practical and give you great peace of mind. When it comes to business money, sometimes it may be worth spending a bit more and having all you need in the same place, so that you can concentrate on your work.
