About Qonto

Qonto is a Paris-based business finance provider that offers online business current accounts to freelancers, small businesses and growing companies in several European countries, with a local IBAN. Accounts come with Mastercard debit and credit cards, SEPA and international transfers (the latter powered by Wise), payment links and tap-to-pay, invoicing and quotes, receipt capture, accountant access, cash-flow forecasting and team spend controls. Plans are split into solo tiers and team tiers, priced monthly with VAT added, and each starts with a one-month free trial. Higher plans add more transfers, cards, sub-accounts and interest on balances. Qonto is a licensed payment institution regulated in France, with customer funds safeguarded at partner banks. It suits European SMEs and freelancers who want banking and basic finance admin in one app. There is no free plan, it serves Europe only, and some features, such as cheque deposits, are limited to France.
