Account or add-on
Soldo describes itself as working alongside your business bank account rather than replacing it: you load money into Soldo wallets and spend from prepaid Mastercard cards. Withdrawing your balance back to your bank costs £20 by Faster Payments.
Incard is a business account in its own right, with GBP, EUR and USD IBANs, local and international transfers and team cards. You can use it as your only account, or next to a bank for reserves.
What it costs
- Plans: Soldo Standard £27 and Plus £39 a month plus VAT, Unlimited on request, with a 30-day trial. Standard includes 1 wallet, 3 users and 3 cards; Plus adds 3 company wallets and multi-currency. Incard Free is £0.
- Cards: Soldo charges £5 per plastic card and £1 per virtual card. Incard Free includes team cards.
- Card payments in other currencies: Mastercard's rate plus 1.5% on Soldo; 1.8% on Incard Free and 1.5% on Grow and Plus.
- Transfers out: £0.75 by Faster Payments on Soldo, up to 20 a month on Standard. Incard Free includes 100 local transfers, then £0.30.
- ATM withdrawals: 1% (minimum £2) on Soldo; 2% in the UK and 2.5% abroad on Incard.
Cashback: only Incard pays it
Soldo doesn't list cashback. Incard pays 1% on advertising, recurring software and travel and 0.5% on other eligible spend on Free, uncapped. If your team puts £5,000 a month on ads and software, that's about £600 a year back on Incard, against £324 a year in plan fees on Soldo Standard before VAT.

Protection and eligibility
Both are FCA-authorised e-money institutions that safeguard your money, and neither is covered by the FSCS. Soldo accepts incorporated businesses only and says it can't currently accept sole traders. Incard accepts UK limited companies, LLPs and sole traders, and Swiss GmbH, AG and sole-trader businesses.
Incard isn't the right account if
- Your business is registered outside the UK and Switzerland. EEA onboarding is paused until an expected restart in 2027
- You're a charity, cooperative, foundation, trust or public body, or work in one of Incard's restricted industries
Our verdict
Incard gives you team cards, IBANs and cashback on a £0 plan, so for most small teams it costs less and pays back more. Soldo is the better fit if you want strict prepaid budgets in separate wallets and are happy to keep your main account elsewhere.
