FAQs
👥 Can I open both a personal and business account?
Yes! You can have both a personal and a business account at Coinmetro, as long as they’re properly verified and meet our compliance requirements.
🤔 What’s the difference between a personal and a business account?
A personal account is for individual use and accepts deposits from your personal bank account. A business account is for company use and accepts deposits from a verified business bank account (or the personal account of the sole owner, if applicable). 👉 More on personal vs. business accounts
