At Qonto, we understand that every business has unique needs. If you are considering closing your account, we want to ensure that you are well-informed about all the options and services we can offer to better meet your current and future expectations.
Our teams are available to discuss these with you and provide the best support possible through:
- 24/7 Support - Let's talk together to find personalized solutions.
- Adapted Plans - Let's adjust your plan according to your activity and budget.
- New Features - Discover our latest updates that might interest you.
What do I need to close my account?
To complete the closure, all of these must be true:
- Your account is active or still in verification
- No legal proceedings are ongoing (juridical reorganization, liquidation, deregistration, etc.)
- Your account balance is €0, with no pending transactions (transfer, card payments, check deposits).
If one of these isn't met, your closure is postponed to the last day of the following month, and you're billed for an additional month.
If your account is still in verification, you can close it in the app as long as it holds no funds. If it does hold funds, contact our support team and we'll guide you through the process.
How do I request the closure of my account?
💻 On the web app:
Go to Settings > Billing and invoices.
Click the "Close account" button.
Follow the guidance until you reach the confirmation page.
📱 On the mobile app:
- Go to Menu > Settings.
- Select the "Close account".
- Follow the guidance until you reach the confirmation page.
Closing your account on the mobile app is only available on app versions above 20250617.0 (Android) and 20250618.1 (iOS).
If you are still completing the verification of your account, you can close it in the app as long as it has no funds. If there are funds on the account, contact our support, and we'll guide you through the process.
Once you start the closure of your account, you will shortly receive a proportional refund for the unused portion of your subscription fee, card subscription fees and E&SM add-on subscription fee. It covers the period from the closing date to the end of your current billing cycle. This does not apply if your account is still being verified.
When does my account close, and can I cancel the closure?
Whether you pay monthly or annually, we close your account on the last day of the current month. If you submit your request on the last day of the month, the closure moves to the last day of the following month.
For example:
You submit your request on November 10, 2026: your account closes on November 30, 2026.
You submit your request on November 30, 2026: your account closes on December 31, 2026.
You can track your closure request and cancel it any time before the closing date.
💻 On the web app:
Go to Settings > Organization details.
A banner on the Organization details page shows your pending closure.
To cancel it, click on the banner and select "Cancel closure".
📱 On the mobile app:
A banner on the Home screen shows your pending closure.
To cancel it, tap the banner and select "Cancel closure".
Can I reopen my account if it has been closed?
No, a closed account is permanently deactivated and cannot be reactivated in the future. Once an account is closed, all transfers made to it are automatically returned to the sender. Its closure results in the immediate, permanent, and irrevocable deactivation of your IBAN(s), cards, and the inability to receive or send transfers. There's no need to return your payment cards to us.
Does the closure incur any fees?
No, closing your Qonto account is free.
Do I still have access to my data after closing my account?
Yes, even if your account is closed, Qonto provides you with unlimited access to retrieve your transaction history and account statements.
How can I hide a closed account in the app?
All accounts, including closed ones, remain visible in the top bar of the app.
If you would like to hide a closed account so that it is no longer displayed, please contact our support team.
Before closing my account, are there any alternatives to consider?
Yes. Adjusting your subscription plan or billing frequency could fit your needs better or reduce your costs.
