  • FINOM does not have access to your online banking credentials, and they are double encypted (access security is also ensured via the use of a one-time password that is mandatory for every access attempt).
  • All data transfers are encrypted end-to-end via TLS encrypted channels. Moreover, FINOM is GDPR compliant, meaning that you can disconnect your account at anytime and revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data whenever you want. We won't store your data against your will or without your explicit consent.

  In order to guarantee high standards of service, security and efficiency, FINOM chose its licences very carefully. FINOM is entering the market in France with the support of Treezor, while in Germany, FINOM can rely on Solaris Bank. Both of these companies are certified and approved by BaFin and ACPR for providing banking solutions.

• Who are FINOM's investors?

  FINOM has earned the trust and attracted the interest of global investors such as: Target Global (already investors in companies such as Omio and TravelPerk), General Catalyst (a venture fund from Silicon Valley that has supported business such as Airbnb and Kayak) and FJ Labs ( a stage-agnostic consumer-facing fund founded by Fabrice Grinda with headquarters in New York City, and the number one angel investor in the world according to Forbes.)

• Can entrepreneurs from any country open an account?

  With FINOM, you can easily open a business account for companies that are based and do business in France or Germany. The legal representative (the only person who can open a business account on behalf of a company) needs to hold a valid local residence permit in one of these two countries, regardless of the issuing country of their passport/ID.

  We are planning to add more European countries in the future. For now, if you are the owner of a business that is based in the USA or that involves US taxpayers, we are not currently able to open a business account for you (due to FATCA regulations).

• How can I withdraw funds from my account or make deposits into it?

  A FINOM Business Account has all the main services of a traditional bank, such as being able to make withdrawals from the account and deposit funds into it. To make a deposit into an account, you can use a SEPA transfer from your current bank account.

  To make a withdrawal, you can use your physical FINOM card at any European ATM for free, up to € 2,000 per month (depending on your plan).

• Can I make only SEPA transfers, or are SWIFT payments also possible?

  A FINOM Business Account allows you to make SEPA payments. For now, we can't provide SWIFT payments. They will, however, be integrated in the future.

• What documents do I need to open an account?

  Whether you are a freelancer or a company, it will only take a few minutes to open your FINOM business account.

  • If your company is based in France you will need:
    1. Your SIRET number
    2. KBIS (not older than 3 months) – according to French regulations. An extract from the commercial registry of France with a summary of the company. This can be obtained online.
    3. Les Statuts – Articles of Association: a document that forms the company's constitution and defines the responsibilities of the directors, the kind of business to be undertaken and the means by which the shareholders exert control over the board of directors.
    4. Valid ID of the legal representative.
    5. Proof of residency of the legal representative.
  • If you're a freelancer:
