Hold a foreign account
in USD, GBP and EUR
Get dedicated account details in USD, GBP and EUR, so you can receive international payments directly, hold them in the currency they arrived in, and convert only when you’re ready.
US Dollar accountIllustrative account details. Yours are issued in the app.
Getting paid internationally shouldn’t mean losing control of when you convert
Without a foreign account, international payments often land through a third party, get auto-converted at whatever rate is live that day, or sit in someone else’s pooled account before reaching you. You lose the choice of when to convert, and often a chunk of the amount along the way.
How it works
Open your account
Set up your USD, GBP or EUR account details inside Divest.
Share your details
Give your dedicated account number to whoever’s paying you.
Receive and decide
Funds land in that currency. You choose when to convert or spend.
The rate you see is the rate you get
Same principle as the rest of Divest: when you do convert, the rate shown before you confirm is what you actually get, with no separate fee tacked on after.
Indicative rate. Your quote is locked at the live rate when you confirm.
What you get

Yours alone, not pooled, so there’s no confusion about whose money is whose.
Hold in the currency you’re paid in
