Bank Transfers in Sterling and Euro
With a Fire business account you can accept payments by bank transfer in sterling and euro. Your customer or payer uses your Fire IBAN or account number to pay you. You may also pay out from your Fire account to staff or suppliers by bank transfer to any bank account in the UK or Eurozone.
Should you need any additional accounts – for a new product launch or business line – then you can create additional accounts instantly. Fire supports sterling payments via Faster Payments and BACs. In euro we support SEPA Credit Transfers (SCTs).
We make it easy to open your account and to access bank transfers in sterling and euro.
Fire MasterCard® debit card
If you need to pay recurring bills, shop in store, online or get access to cash, you can order a Fire business debit card, which can be used anywhere you see the MasterCard logo.
In the same way that you can open multiple accounts, you may order multiple debit cards, linking these to specific people and accounts – giving you great control and flexibility.
As a debit card issuer, we are a principal member of MasterCard.
In addition to accessing your Fire account via our online application, you may also connect your systems directly to your Fire account using our API.
Our API enables your in-house application to retrieve and display data from your Fire account. You create permission based tokens so different applications can access different data in Fire. You may also configure real time messages to be sent from your Fire account to your own applications when certain events occur – e.g. a lodgement is received.
We make it easy for businesses to access the transactions and data in their accounts.

We make it easy for businesses to open digital accounts.
