Revolut, the challenger digital bank, has made two of its business accounts free for freelancers and small businesses.
The bank is suitable for entrepreneurs who travel or trade overseas a lot.

Employers can issue fee-free corporate cards to employees to reduce expenses when they’re abroad. Revolut also integrates with apps including Slack, Xero, FreeAgent and Zapier. Future bolt-ons include expenses management.
More than 100,000 businesses in Britain and the rest of Europe have signed up for the service.

Revolut for Business has also introduced more flexibility into its paid-for plans, enabling customers to either upgrade or downgrade their plans at any time.

But in recent weeks he has been on a charm offensive in an effort to persuade corporate leaders that he will offer a pro-business, tax-cutting agenda.
Andrew Griffith is a former Conservative candidate who lent his £9.5m Westminster townhouse to the Johnson campaign during the race for the party leadership.
Allan Leighton, chairman of Co-operative Group and former Sky board member, told the Financial Times that Griffith would be “good news for the business community”.
Small business reaction
Reacting to Johnson’s appointment as Prime Minister, business associations and small business suppliers gave their wish lists for the incoming PM.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) met with Johnson and his team last week to discuss priorities for the new administration.
Among the measures the FSB would like to see
