Are there any limits for international payments?
There are no limits for inbound international payments. However, the main account balance limit for Mettle bank accounts is £1 million for both sole traders and limited companies. If you reach this £1 million limit, any further incoming payments, including international payments, will be declined.
Can everyone use international payments?
Most Mettle customers will be able to receive international payments. However, if you operate a business that is involved in the trade of alcohol, tobacco or vapes, you may not be able to use our international payments. If you have any questions about this, please drop us a message in app.
Can I send an international payment?
We don’t currently offer outbound international payments, however this is a feature we’re working on and hope to have available soon.
