Amaiz Business Banking Services
Current Accounts
Your Amaiz business current account is managed entirely through the app or desktop site, where you’ll see all your transactions, receipts, and payments in one place. Whenever cash leaves or enters your account, you’ll get an app notification.
You’ll be able to see how your cash flow changes and develops, as well as categorise your expenses and subscriptions. If you already use an accounting tool, you can sync it with Amaiz, so there’s no manual data wrangling.
An Amaiz offers individual accounts for personal accounts and sole traders which costs £4.99 or £9.99 a month. They also offer business accounts for established and growing businesses which cost £24.99 or £99 per month.
