Qonto joins the Barcelona Finance Hub: a key driver of financial innovation

Barcelona Finance Hub celebrates its first anniversary with news that reinforces its purpose: the incorporation of Qonto as a new Corporate Partner. This strategic alliance means much more than a new member. It marks a firm step towards the common goal of consolidating Barcelona as a European benchmark in financial innovation and entrepreneurship.

Founded in 2017, Qonto is Europe's leading 100% digital financial institution, specialized in financial management for SMEs, startups and freelancers. Its proposition is simple yet transformative: to offer an intuitive and powerful online business account with integrated invoicing, accounting, expense management, tax payments and bank reconciliation functionalities. In a context where operational efficiency and financial agility are more important than ever, Qonto is positioned as a key ally for businesses that want to scale without friction. Today, it operates in eight European countries and serves more than 500,000 companies, with a team of more than 1,600 people.

As a new Corporate Partner of the Barcelona Finance Hub, Qonto will actively participate in forums, networking activities and spaces for shared reflection. The objective is clear: to add experience, share knowledge and contribute to the development of a more connected, digital and efficient ecosystem. Since its arrival in Spain in 2019, Qonto has positioned Barcelona as one of its strategic focuses due to its technological dynamism, its business network and its potential as an emerging financial node. This alliance with the BFH reinforces that commitment, expanding its presence and commitment to the city.

"Qonto's vocation is to reduce financial bureaucracy and boost the digital creation of companies, two points that we believe are fundamental to establish a more efficient business environment," explains Carles Marcos i Guàrdia, General Manager of Qonto in Spain.

From the hub, this incorporation is welcomed as a further validation of the path taken.
"From the BFH we celebrate this incorporation as another step towards the common goal of positioning Barcelona as a European benchmark in financial innovation and entrepreneurship," says Quino Fernandez, director of the hub.

With this new alliance, the Barcelona Finance Hub continues to add actors committed to a real transformation of the financial system. More digital, more connected, more focused on the needs of the business community.
