FAQs about Holvi
Not exactly. Holvi is business banking for the self-employed and small businesses – but there are a few key differences between us and banks. Back in 2011, Holvi was authorised as a payment institution by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Finland (FIN-FSA). With this authorisation, we could spread our wings and help self-employed professionals across Europe. We’ve been doing that ever since, adapting our product to promote financial well-being in different markets and working under the relevant national authorities.
Yes. Holvi offers bank-level security. Holvi Payment Services Ltd is an Authorised Payment Institution regulated across the EEA by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Finland. All funds deposited by our customers are segregated from Holvi’s own and safeguarded in compliance with the relevant legislation (PSD2). This means that in the unlikely event of Holvi’s insolvency, customer funds would remain unaffected. Your money is safe and sound.
You can open a Holvi business account for these types of companies in Germany:
- Sole proprietorship / trade (not registered)
- Freelancer
- GmbH in formation (pre-GmbH)
- GmbH – limited liability company
- UG – Entrepreneurship (limited liability) in formation
- UG – Unternehmergesellschaft (limited liability)
Holvi doesn’t support ownership structures that include one or more legal entities with 25% or more shares in the company. This means that if your company belongs to another company, then we unfortunately can’t offer you an account.
Yes. We offer founders accounts for the German company forms GmbH and UG. You can pay your share capital into this account before the commercial register extract is available. All other types of company must be fully verified when opening an account.
