US banking for Canadian businesses.

Opening a multi-currency account with Loop is completely free. Additionally, the sign up is completed entirely online - yes you heard that right, you can open U.S., European and U.K. Pound accounts from your couch at home (no more driving across the border to a bank branch). These accounts come with local account and routing numbers that can be used to receive, send, and store funds.

There are no mandatory monthly fees for any of Loop’s multi-currency accounts. There is also no minimum deposit amount required to benefit from no fee banking. Users can upgrade their Loop account to Loop Plus for lower conversion rates and other benefits, starting at $49/month. Visit getloop.ca/pricing for more information.

Loop is required to keep your money safe and protected. Since we are not a bank ourselves, we do not lend out customer money, we safeguard your money by keeping your money in accounts that are separate from the ones we use to run our business.
