How can I open a Qonto for my association based in Italy?

If you want to open an account for your association, follow these steps and get the following documentation ready at hand:

1 - Personal Identity Documents

How to provide the requested documents? Follow the instructions in this article!

For President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer (if any):

  • A valid identity document - you can find the complete list of accepted documents here.

šŸ‘‰ Only the President or a natural person expressly delegated by him can open a Qonto account in the name of the company (otherwise, we invite you to click here to download the general power).

šŸ‘‰ According to our internal policies, Qonto reserves the right to accept an association only when its executive board is expressly made of a minimum of 3 members.

Thus, we need to be able to identify the following roles of the executive board in the documents requested for your Association:

  • President;

  • Vice - President;

  • Secretary;

  • Treasurer (if present, it may cover one of the above mentioned roles, as per national directives).

2 - Association’s documents:

If your association is registered to the Chamber of Commerce:

  • Visura camerale (Company Registration Certificate) not older than three months.

Otherwise, prepare the following documentation:

  • Bylaws of the association, signed and stamped by the Agenzia delle Entrate*;

  • Certificate of incorporation, signed and stamped by the Agenzia delle Entrate*;

  • Certificate of allocation of the fiscal code signed and stamped by the Agenzia delle Entrate**.

If the roles of the members of your executive board are not specified inside the above mentioned documents:

  • Updated meeting minutes, signed and dated.

Additionally, if your association is affiliated to one of the national registries:

  • Extract (or receipt) of registration in the category register (national register, regional register, Onlus register, certificate of registration with CONI).

*Alternatively, we can also accept the copy of its electronic receipt.

**We can also accept its electronic copy, containing the Association’s information and fiscal code/VAT.

šŸ‘‰ If you are registering the local/provincial/regional seat of an association, remember to send us the bylaw, or minutes of incorporation of your seat and not the ones of the general seat.

NB: The associations that can currently open a Qonto account are:

  • Associations of social promotion (APS);

  • Voluntary organizations (ODV);

  • Associations carrying out an activity of general interest under the ETS reform.

āš ļø At the moment, associations between professionals, committees, NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization - In English NGO) and public administrations or with public participation, as well as entities managed, coordinated or controlled by these entities cannot open a Qonto account with us yet.
