ElloU was created to enable you the freedom to create as well as the financial one!
It’s a money management service, which includes a regulated bank account. It is designed to make creatives' lives simpler. To take away the hassles of money management and take away the fees. But it’s not just this. We’re thinking beyond!
Read this exciting blog from Michael Callas about his life journey and why he decided to become the Head of ElloU!
In a nutshell, ElloU offers three package options:
1. Free and easy: a free and easy service for those who just want to get paid with no stress and no
fees.
2. Side hustle: a service for those who have more money management needs. Maybe you want
to keep your work money separate from your money. Maybe you sometimes have
payments in other currencies. Maybe you want your spending to go a bit further with
cashback.
3. Professional: if your passion is your full-time work, this is the service for you. Practically zero
fees on everything. Accounts in multiple currencies. Cashback on all spending. Great FX rates.

Certainly. This is a normal bank account with an IBAN and can be used to receive other payments as well.
If ElloU applies for me, do I need to open an account to receive my payments?
Ultimately, yes. We aim to work exclusively with ElloU. The reason that we’re insisting on this is that through ElloU we’re optimizing our payment processes, increasing the efficiency of paying, and reducing any hassle and fees on your behalf.
