What do I need to ensure before closing my account?

Before closing your Qonto account, it's important to ensure a few key aspects:

  • You are the account holder. Only the account holder has the right to request its closure.

  • No collective proceedings (judicial reorganization, judicial liquidation, deregistration, etc.) are in progress. The withdrawal is subjected to the conclusion of these procedures.

  • Your account balance is €0, and there are no pending transactions (transfers, card payments, check deposits).
