Which options do I have with Qonto and DATEV?

  • Updated

With Qonto's DATEV integrations, you can automatically transfer transactions (bank movements) and supporting documents (receipts and attachments) to DATEV 🚀

Transactions and supporting documents are independent of each other: you can sync only transactions, only supporting documents, or both — depending on your needs.

For a complete setup, we recommend activating one building block for transactions and one for supporting documents, so that bank movements and their associated documents are both available in DATEV.

What requirements do I need to meet to use the DATEV integrations?

The DATEV integrations are available on 💻 web only. To use them, you must meet the following conditions:

  • Role: Account Holder, Admin, or Accountant
  • IBAN: A German IBAN is required
  • Plan:
    • Basic: Only the PIN/TAN connection via FinAPI is available
    • Smart and above: Belegbilderservice, Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0, and RZ-Bankinfo are available, in addition to PIN/TAN

How do I sync my transactions with DATEV?

You can sync your bank movements between Qonto and DATEV using one of the following options. Both are independent — you only need one:

  • Option A – DATEV interface with FinAPI (PIN/TAN): Choose this option if you want to sync your transactions with DATEV Unternehmen Online (DUO) via PIN/TAN. → Guide to FinAPI (PIN/TAN) setup
  • Option B – DATEV interface with RZ-Bankinfo: Choose this option if your DATEV setup involves retrieving or processing bank data via RZ-Bankinfo. → Guide to RZ-Bankinfo setup

⚠️ Note on EBICS: EBICS is only available at Qonto within the scope of RZ-Bankinfo. Classic EBICS with signature for DATEV is not supported. For more details, see How do I connect Qonto to my accounting or financial tool via EBICS?

How do I transfer my supporting documents to DATEV?

You can transfer supporting documents from Qonto to DATEV using one of the following options. You only need one — the best choice depends on your needs and how you work with DATEV:

  • Option A – DATEV Belegbilderservice: Choose this option if you want to automatically transfer supporting documents and attachments (e.g. PDF, JPG) from Qonto to DATEV Unternehmen Online (DUO). → Guide to the Belegbilderservice
  • Option B – DATEV Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0: Choose this option if you want to transfer structured invoice data (incoming and outgoing invoices) to DATEV — for example, for further processing in DATEV Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen or DATEV Mittelstands Faktura Rechnungswesen. → Guide to the Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0

What setup do I recommend for a complete DATEV integration?

A complete DATEV setup at Qonto consists of one building block for transactions and one for supporting documents. The right combination depends on your needs, your DATEV environment, and the workflow of your tax advisor.

A common setup is:

  • Transactions: FinAPI (PIN/TAN) or RZ-Bankinfo
  • Supporting documents: Belegbilderservice or Rechnungsdatenservice 1.0

There is no universally "best" combination — activate only the building blocks that fit your specific workflow.
