    No. Ramp is not a bank. Your money sits with Sutton Bank / Celtic Bank (confirm current issuer).

  • If it fails?

    Not a deposit account — cards and bill pay

  • Salary?

    Not listed. An IBAN or sort code is not automatically a salary account.

  • Open from abroad?

    Software + card; pricing by plan

  • Account number

    No IBAN-class local rail on this file.

Pair Ramp with Mercury. Do not replace the operating account with a card platform.

What it is

Ramp is a spend platform: Visa commercial cards, virtual cards, bill pay. Issuing banks sit underneath. It is filed here because finance teams search ‘business banking’ and mean ‘cards plus control.’

Best for: US finance teams that want control more than airline miles.
