Which one keeps more of it comes down to how much the company spends abroad, how many currencies it holds, and whether you want cashback on all of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Revolut Business vs YouBiz at a Glance<\/strong> <a id=\"at-a-glance\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>YouBiz<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Revolut Business<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Monthly fee<\/strong><\/td><td>S$0\/month, all features included<\/td><td>Basic plan free; Grow plan S$15\/month; Scale plan S$84\/month; Enterprise plan from S$417\/month (annual billing; monthly billing costs more)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Unlimited 1% cashback<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes, on eligible spends, no minimum, no cap<\/td><td>No cashback on spend (business &#8220;rewards&#8221; are partner discounts)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Card FX<\/strong><\/td><td>Real 0% FX at wholesale rates, 150+ currencies, no monthly cap<\/td><td>Interbank rate within each plan&#8217;s monthly fee-free allowance (around S$1,500 on the Basic plan to S$250,000 on the Enterprise plan), on weekdays; 0.6% above the allowance; plus 1% on weekend exchanges<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Cards included<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 100, free<\/td><td>First physical card per employee free, extra physical from S$4.99; virtual cards free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Team \/ spend users<\/strong><\/td><td>Unlimited<\/td><td>Unlimited<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Currencies held<\/strong><\/td><td>8<\/td><td>25+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Approvals &amp; expense controls<\/strong><\/td><td>Included free<\/td><td>Manager approvals and analytics gated above the free Basic plan<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Card network<\/strong><\/td><td>Mastercard<\/td><td>Visa \/ Mastercard<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Regulation<\/strong><\/td><td>MAS major payment institution; Mastercard Principal Member<\/td><td>MAS major payment institution<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Revolut Business pricing and fees per Revolut&#8217;s Singapore pricing pages (July 2026).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For businesses that spend overseas regularly, competitive FX rates and cashback can deliver far greater savings than a low monthly fee.

Both are MAS-licensed major payment institutions under the Payment Services Act.
