1. Requirements

In this example situation, you should have representation rights for the business you are planning to register, wish to invest funds on behalf of your company and trade at least EUR 100,000 per year for business purposes. In this case, we will need the following documents for review, which all are essential for opening a business account:

• A recent company register excerpt (no older than 6 weeks)
• Bank account statements of all relevant bank accounts used for deposits/withdrawals showing the company name and your IBAN (no older than 3 weeks)
• Legal authorisation to act on behalf of the company you want to register (if not apparent from previous documents)
• Most recent financial statements available (annual account, balance sheet, Profit & Loss statement)
• A dated and hand-signed organisational chart showing the company structure, including ownership percentages (if the ownership structure has more than one level and must show the levels up to the ultimate beneficial owners)
• Current and official shareholder list or equivalent (where applicable, depending on company type)

Note: If the documents are not available in German or English, we require a translation into German or English in addition to the original document.

Depending on the nature of your business, we might need to request additional documents. In order to provide you with the best possible service, we will also require some information about your business and intention:

• Description of your business model
• Intended use of the business account you want to open with us
• Expected total investment for the respective year

Note: Before submitting your application, please make sure to complete the verification of your account and that you have all documents ready. Only then can we start with the review.

In addition, we need to identify all authorised persons who may access the business account. Therefore, they also have to verify themselves with us through opening a separate private account. 

2. Create a new business account

If you hold the company’s representation rights that you want to register with us, you can simply create a business account via this link. You will just need to follow the instructions. For this link to work, you need to be logged out of any existing Bitpanda account.

The person signing up and verifying the business account must hold representation rights of the business, as also visible on the company register excerpt.

Note: A phone number can only be used for a single Bitpanda account. So if you create a business account in addition to your private account, then you will need to use a different phone number.

Once the registration is complete, you will receive an email with further information. In order to speed up the process, please make sure to complete the verification process before submitting the required documents.

If you do not receive this email, please check here to see what you can do or contact us via the email address you used to create the business account.
