Our verdict: Qonto
The essential business account for European SMEs who want to leave traditional banking without sacrificing accounting integrations. Ideal for teams of 1 to 50 people with multi-collaborator card and expense needs. Avoid if you need significant overdraft facilities or credit access: Qonto remains a payment service provider, not a bank.
Our verdict: Spendesk
Recommended for French SMEs in growth who want to take control of expenses (cards, reports, invoices) with a compliant, French tool. Not suitable for solo freelancers or microbusinesses with tight budgets: the lack of public pricing and SME positioning make the tool oversized for individual activity.
