Open a business account: Frequently asked questions
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 of both is making and receiving payments.
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 price list, you will find a detailed overview of the included services for each account plan.
Every company registered in Germany. Currently, our corporate account is available for many legal forms such as UG, GmbH, AG, GbR, OHG, PartG, KG, e.K., eG, and Einzelunternehmer (sole proprietor). In addition, companies with the legal forms GmbH and UG in foundation can benefit from our offer.
If you want to open your business account for your GmbH online, or open a second account, you basically need the following information:
Type of company
Business activities
Industry
Industry code
Number of employees
Ownership and company structure
And the most important (expected) financial ratios
For identification purposes, it is necessary to carry out a video identification procedure through our partner, IDnow. During this procedure, a consultant will check your identification documents online.
We place high importance on fast and convenient solutions, so 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 benefit from your business bank account.
Penta offers you a modern and digital corporate account with a German IBAN and all the traditional banking services you need. Save time with automated accounting, VISA business cards and smart account features.
