We’re excited to announce that Qonto, the leading European business finance solution, has partnered with Wise Platform to offer fast, transparent and low-cost international payment services to over 500,000 SMEs and freelancers across Europe.

Qonto is on a mission to simplify the day-to-day banking experience for European SMEs and freelancers. With the world being more connected than ever, smooth international payments are key for businesses to grow. But let’s face it, cross-border payments can still be a real headache - complex, slow, and expensive enough to keep many SMEs and freelancers from going global.

That’s where Qonto’s partnership with Wise Platform comes in. By integrating Wise Platform’s cutting-edge infrastructure into their existing platform, Qonto is upgrading their customers’ cross-border payment experience to be faster and have increased global coverage. In addition to leveraging Wise Platform to receive funds from abroad, Qonto’s customers can now send money to 24 currencies across 130 countries in just seconds.*

We're now able to better support our existing customers by offering faster, more transparent transactions as well as fair pricing and timely payments with their international business partners.
