FAQ
A business bank account is a bank account specifically dedicated to companies. It is comparable to a bank account for private individuals, but usually offers more extensive functions. Nevertheless, the basis for both is to make and receive payments.
A Penta business account includes for example services tailored to companies such as account software integrations, Business Visa Debit Card, and free monthly transactions. Penta supports your company on the road to success.
We currently offer two options: The “Starter” plan for €9 per month, the “Comfort” plan for €19 per month and the “Enterprise” plan for €49 per month (all excl. VAT). In our pricing list, you will find a detailed overview of the included services for each account plan.
We place high importance on fast and convenient solutions. Therefore, the opening of a business bank account with Penta only takes you around 15 minutes. Afterwards, we verify your information and within just a few days, you can profit from your business bank account.
The whole registration process is done online and after the onboarding, you can immediately access your account. To open your account, you must provide basic information like your name as well as date and place of birth. For identification purposes, it is necessary to carry out a video identification procedure through our partner, IDnow.

We are required by law to verify your personal identity. For this purpose we use the video identification of our partner IDnow. After you have provided all the information about you and your company, we will forward you to IDnow in the final step. In a video chat you will be asked to hold your ID document in the camera of your smartphone or PC and confirm some information. The VideoIdent process takes no longer than 3 minutes.
