Can I reopen my account if it has been closed?
No, a closed account is permanently deactivated and cannot be reactivated in the future. Once an account is closed, all transfers made to it are automatically returned to the sender. Its closure results in the immediate, permanent, and irrevocable deactivation of your IBAN(s), cards, and the inability to receive or send transfers.
NB: You do not need to return your payment cards.
However, you can cancel your account closure request before the closing date by going to Settings > Organization details > Cancel Closure in your web app or by tapping on a banner in your the Qonto mobile app home screen.
Does the closure incur any fees?
No, closing your Qonto account is free.
