Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Ramp
- Procurement module unavailable on Free plan; available as add-on on Plus
- Workday and Oracle Fusion integrations limited to Enterprise tier only
- Multi-entity functionality requires Plus tier or higher
- Local card issuance in 30+ countries limited to Enterprise tier
- Advanced ERP integrations require higher tier selection
Revolut
- UK customer balances have historically been held under an e-money institution licence, meaning they are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme the way a traditional UK bank deposit is, even though Revolut was granted a restricted UK banking licence in 2024.
- Regulatory status differs by country of use, EEA versus UK versus other markets, so the actual protection on a given balance depends on where the account is domiciled, not on the brand alone.
- Customer service has been a recurring complaint, with account freezes for fraud checks sometimes leaving customers unable to access funds for extended periods with limited direct human contact.
- The free tier caps fee-free currency exchange at a monthly allowance, after which a fair usage fee applies, so heavy multi-currency users may need a paid plan to avoid extra charges.
- The breadth of features, banking, trading, crypto and business accounts, spans multiple regulatory regimes and legal entities, which makes the overall structure harder for a typical customer to fully understand than a single-licence traditional bank.
