Can entities in different countries be managed under a single platform account?
Short answer
Sometimes. A multi-entity platform can provide one view across legal entities, but the available cards, payment methods, tax workflows, and accounting integrations can still differ by entity and country.
What to evaluate
Check whether each entity can use its local currency, connect to its own ERP, and follow local tax requirements. A unified view may require a different setup than separate local accounts, so consider both group-level visibility and each entity’s local workflow.
How Ramp supports multi-entity setups
Ramp Enterprise supports multi-entity organizations with entity-level bank accounts and locally denominated cards. Eligible international entities can settle card statements from local CAD, EUR, or GBP bank accounts.
Each entity’s card availability, bank-account eligibility, and accounting configuration can differ. A multi-entity business may therefore use different workflows by country while managing them through Ramp.
Multi-entity setups for Canadian businesses
Eligible international entities can use a local CAD bank account to settle card statements in Canadian dollars. Ramp Enterprise also supports entity-level bank accounts and locally denominated cards where eligible.
Multi-entity setups for UK businesses
Eligible international entities can use a local GBP bank account to settle card statements in pounds sterling. Ramp Enterprise also supports entity-level bank accounts and locally denominated cards where eligible.
