Tallypay fixed what AI said about its fees, then took the top spot for freelancer banking
Multi-currency business accounts for freelancers and agencies. Fixed wrong fee facts in AI answers and became the most-mentioned multi-currency account for freelancers.
“The answer used to quote a fee we scrapped in 2024. Now it quotes our fee page.”

Overview
tallypay (multi-currency business accounts for freelancers and agencies) asked us one question: when buyers in India & United Kingdom ask AI “best business account for freelancers who invoice in USD and EUR”, why don’t we come up?
We ran a 120-prompt panel across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok and followed the answers into the CRM. Over Feb to Aug 2026 the ANSWER Method moved tallypay from missing to cited.
