Switch your business account without slowing down your business
Together with our partner Qwist, the account switching service helps you keep track of your existing payment partners, direct debits and standing orders, making it easier to prepare for switching your business account. It gives you a complete overview of your payment partners, lets you easily notify them of your new bank account details, helps you manage important payments throughout the switching process, and allows you to transfer your remaining balance before preparing to close your old account.
How does the account switching service work?
With our partner Qwist, you can complete your account switch in just a few simple steps.
1. Open a Kontist account
Open your business account directly in the app – quickly and fully digitally.
2. Connect your existing account
Connect your current bank account via our partner Qwist so that relevant payments and payment partners can be identified.
3. Identify payment partners
The service automatically creates an overview of your direct debits, standing orders and recurring payment partners.
4. Prepare the switch
You can then either notify your customers, providers and payment partners about your new account details yourself or arrange for notifications to be sent through Qwist.
5. Complete the switch
Start using your new Kontist business account without having to manage complex manual changes.
6. Close your old account
If you would like to close your previous account, Qwist can submit the account closure request on your behalf.
You’re not alone when switching accounts
Switching a business account often means adjusting existing processes. That’s why we guide you through the process step by step. If you have any questions or if something is unclear, you can contact our customer service team at any time.
