Why do I need to provide business activity information?
At bunq, we make sure your money is 100% safe and follow regulatory procedures in order to do so. As part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) duties, we may reach out to you for some additional account information in order to fulfill our customer due diligence requirements as a bank.
Can I add multiple Co-founders or directors to the business bank account?
You can add up to 3 co-founders or company directors when you have the bunq Core, Pro or Elite subscription. Account Co-founders have complete access to the company accounts and can add or remove other Account Co-founders directly within the app.
Why do you need a personal account with your business account?
To keep everything secure and compliant with regulations, we need to know exactly who’s making transactions at any time.
That’s why, to open a Business account, you’ll need to have a verified Personal account, which you can create simultaneously during the signup flow. Your Business account will then be accessible using your Personal account credentials, ensuring everything stays safe and streamlined.
