Want to create a Qonto account for your business?

 

To save time, you can prepare the following documents:

📄 Your company’s name or Tax Identification Number (NIF)

👥 Your ID document (Citizen Card, passport, or residence permit)

 

We recommend registering using a smartphone (if using a computer, keep your smartphone handy).

đź’ˇ The Google Chrome browser is 100% compatible with Qonto.

Go to Qonto.pt and click the “Open an account” button that appears in the top-right corner of the screen

First step:

Select your legal form — Private Limited Company (Lda), Self-employed Worker, or Sole Proprietor;
 

Second step:
