3 reasons why Aspire is better

Aspire is built to be your primary business account, helping you save more, earn more, and move faster in your day-to-day operations. Here's how Aspire stands out.

Aspire is better illustration

Free domestic transfers with no monthly allowance cap

Aspire's PayNow, FAST, Recurring/Scheduled transfers, and Local TT are all free on the Basic plan with no cap on transaction volume. Revolut's Basic plan includes free local transfers within a set monthly allowance, after which each transfer is charged at SGD $0.20. For businesses processing higher volumes of domestic payments, Aspire's uncapped free transfers translate to predictable, lower costs over time.

Competitive and transparent FX pricing

Aspire's FX markup starts from 0.22% and is published openly, combining competitive pricing with the transparency needed to accurately cost your international payment operations. Revolut's FX rates are not publicly disclosed for business accounts, and its allowance-based model means costs can increase once you exceed your plan limits. For finance teams that need predictable FX costs for budgeting and forecasting, Aspire's transparent pricing is a practical advantage.

Deep Singapore local payment infrastructure

Aspire connects to the full set of Singapore local payment rails, PayNow, FAST, GIRO, MEPS, and Local TT, covering every domestic scenario your business encounters. Revolut operates in Singapore but as a foreign-licensed entity, its local payment rail depth is less comprehensive than Aspire's. For businesses running day-to-day Singapore operations, Aspire's local infrastructure works without friction.

Frequently asked questions about Aspire Business Account vs. Revolut Business Account

Who should choose Aspire Business Account?

Choose Aspire over Revolut Business Account if your business needs more than just a multi-currency account. Aspire brings an all-in-one finance platform, end-to-end financial operations coverage, and deep integrations with Xero, Shopify, and more, all in one platform. For finance teams that want to consolidate their stack and reduce the number of tools they manage, Aspire's breadth of functionality gives it a clear edge.

Who should choose Revolut Business Account?

Revolut Business Account is a solid option for businesses that already use Revolut for personal finance and want a seamless corporate transition, or for teams that rely heavily on integrations with HR, collaboration, and commerce platforms. With 50+ integrations and a broad ecosystem of plan tiers, Revolut suits businesses that want extensive third-party connectivity and are comfortable managing spend within allowance-based limits.

Who is better overall?

Aspire publishes its FX markup from 0.22% with no cap on free local transfers. Revolut does not disclose its FX rate, and free local transfers are subject to monthly allowances after which SGD $0.20 per transfer applies. Aspire's expense management with approval workflows is included on the free plan. For Singapore-based businesses that want predictable costs, Aspire has the edge. Revolut's strength is breadth: local collection accounts in 30 currencies and 50+ integrations for globally mobile teams.

Who offers better value?

Both platforms offer no-fee entry tiers, making them level on base account cost. Aspire's advantage is in cost predictability: its local transfers are free with no monthly cap, while Revolut's free allowance is volume-limited. Aspire also publishes its FX markup; Revolut does not. For businesses with variable payment volumes, Aspire offers more predictable costs. Revolut offers value for globally mobile teams that need broad currency coverage and a wide integration ecosystem.
