How does the referral program work?

  • Updated

Do you know other businesses that could use a boost? Introduce them to Qonto and earn a reward of €80!

🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 German, Italian, and Spanish companies: for each successful referral, both you and your referee will earn €80.

 

🚀 Referral offer: from 16/09 to the 21/10/2024, the referral reward will be €100 instead of €80! For French businesses, the first reward will be €120 and the second will remain €80.

 

Who is eligible for the referral offer?

All customers with an active account can refer other companies to Qonto. The referred company must not already have an account with Qonto.

☝️ Important: For a successful referral, it is mandatory that the new client register through the referral link. If the new account was created directly on the Qonto website, no reward will be applicable.

⚠️ As stated in our Terms and Conditions, Qonto may decide at any moment to cancel the distribution of the reward in case notably of abuse of the program and/or breach of our terms of use.
