Experience with multicurrency accounts for both personal and business use
I am looking into options for holding several currencies in one place and sending payments through SEPA and SWIFT. Has anyone here used a platform that covers both personal and business needs without too much friction? Curious what your actual experience has been.

My own observation is that the useful part is not the number of features but whether the basics stay predictable. Multicurrency accounts that support SEPA, SWIFT and UK local payments do cover most of what a small company needs, though the details matter more than the marketing copy. I paid attention to how transfers are tracked, whether incoming payments land directly on the IBAN, and how clear the dashboard is when you need to reconcile a month of transactions. Anyone comparing providers can look at what it takes to open online business account and check the conditions against their own volumes. Payouts to IBAN and cards, plus currency exchange in the same interface, reduce the number of tools you juggle, which is mostly a matter of convenience rather than something remarkable. I would still verify fees, limits and supported jurisdictions before moving anything meaningful, since those change and public descriptions are not always current.
