What You Get With a Fenryx IBAN Account

Online onboarding and KYB

An online iban account request goes straight to the team that reviews it, and the business gets verified before anything is issued.

Payment rails

Payments move over SEPA and SEPA Instant for euro, and SWIFT beyond it. Which applies depends on currency and destination bank.

Incoming and outgoing payments

Third parties pay you on your own details. Outgoing payments and payouts use saved beneficiaries, and the fee appears in the summary before you confirm.

Tracking and reconciliation

Payments carry a status you can check, with the transaction detail behind it and an export for the period your books need.

Roles and approvals

More than one user works the account, and a payment can require approval from a second person before it is sent.

Use Cases

Export

Paid by buyers abroad

Buyers abroad settle in euro against details on the invoice. Payments arrive directly, not through an intermediary bank the exporter cannot see.

SaaS

Subscribers in several countries

Subscription payments arrive from several markets on their own cycles. One set of details collects them all, so a new country does not mean new accounts elsewhere.

Agencies

Contractors paid abroad

Freelancers abroad get paid from the same place that collects client payments, and saved beneficiaries make the monthly run repeatable.

Finance ops

Flows split for reconciliation

Separate accounts per platform or business line mean payments arrive already sorted. Close then takes statuses and an export, not a spreadsheet.

Dedicated IBAN, Virtual IBAN and Currency Account

Dedicated IBAN

A dedicated iban account is a set of details assigned to one business and used only by it. Payments arriving there already belong to it, with nothing to disentangle later.

Virtual IBAN

A secondary number routing to a main account behind it. Businesses use them to tell payers apart: each customer gets a different number, so identifying payments does not rest on the reference.

Currency account

Not the same instrument. A currency account holds a balance and is funded from the business's own accounts, so third-party payments need an IBAN account instead. Which type applies to yours is confirmed at setup.

How It Works

Submit request

Tell us about the business and the international payments it expects.

KYB review

Company documents and the people behind it are checked.

Account setup

The account is configured and your users are added.

IBAN details issued

You get the details to quote on invoices.

First payment in

The first payment arrives, the status updates, the record exports.

Where IBAN-Based Collection Breaks

A payment sits unposted because one character of the details was wrong.

Payments land with no usable reference, and nobody can say who sent them.

Several accounts at several banks, each with its own login and statement.

Reconciliation done by hand, invoice by invoice, at the end of each month.

A bank application turned down over the activity on the certificate.

Who we cannot onboard. Anonymous accounts and exchange services, anything built to obscure where money came from, restricted goods, organisations with no commercial purpose, and anyone under sanctions. See our AML Policy.

What to Compare Before Choosing a Provider

IBAN type

Dedicated details of your own, or a virtual number routing to an account behind it.

Schemes supported

Which euro and international rails the account can actually reach.

Third-party payments

Whether clients and platforms can pay the account directly, or only you can fund it.

Fee transparency

Whether the cost of a payment appears before you send it, or afterwards on a statement.

Reporting and roles

What exports exist, and whether a second person can be required to release a payment.

Questions We Get Asked

What is an IBAN account?

An account with an international number attached, used to identify it when a payment moves between countries: the number tells the sender's bank where the payment is going and what to credit at the other end. An IBAN business account is the same instrument held by a company rather than a person — the holder name is your registered business, and the payments are business payments.

Can a business open an IBAN account online?

Yes. Request and document check both run remotely. Whether it opens depends on the outcome of the review, not on the application itself.

What does an instant IBAN account actually mean?

Usually a misreading. It points at SEPA Instant, a settlement scheme for euro payments, not at how fast details are issued. Issuing follows the review.

Can I receive payments from my clients into an IBAN account?

Yes, and that is the difference from a currency balance: clients, marketplaces and other third parties pay you directly, because the details belong to it.

Is an IBAN account the same as a bank account?

Different things. Fenryx is a payment account provider rather than a bank, so it receives and sends payments, while lending, overdrafts and cash handling stay with a bank.

Can an individual open an IBAN account?

No, registered legal entities only. We do not open personal ones, and a business has to evidence its registration and what it does.

What information does a sender need to pay me?

Your IBAN, the BIC or SWIFT code of the bank holding it, and the holder name and address as registered. Anything missing there is what delays an international payment.
