  • Legal structure for Business accounts

Iā€™m trying to open a business account for a BV in Holland, but this is not accepted since in the structure there is a so-called STAK which controls the stock.
When would this be allowed. Other banks allow this as well, but I want to benefit all features of BUNQ, like sharing bank accounts with employees, using only 1 card, and so on and so on.
Pls help.

    @Cornelis-Blue-Penguin#105796 bunq never discloses when such things will be allowed. They announce it when it's possible but there are no pre-announcements about new/upcoming features. šŸ™‚ We'll have to wait and see. šŸ™‚šŸ‘

      @Cornelis-Blue-Penguin#105796 The presence of a STAK is not a valid reason for any company to refuse the BV its services. As any stakeholder, the STAK is just another entity which has nothing to do with the BV to other parties. Actually it is none of anyones business who are the stakeholders, to other parties the executives of a BV are more relevant.

      The STAK holds no responsibilities when the BV has to fault its payments to another party and isn't liable in any way for the actions of the BV. The executives may be in some cases, so it matters whether they have any assets when liable for the BV.

      I guess in this case there is a misunderstanding netween you and bunq as many, many BV's do have some kind of STAK. Bunq would have to refuse all of them service then. I would ask bunq for a more elaborate explanation as the stakeholders shouldn't matter to bunq.

        @Samzoiets#106053 Nee, het staat expliciet in de voorwaarden van bunq dat ze geen BV's met een STAK accepteren, zie https://together.bunq.com/d/221-what-are-the-accepted-legal-forms-to-open-a-bunq-business-account

        Een bank heeft trouwens wel vanalles te maken met de aandeelhouders omdat zij op basis van wetgeving tegen witwassen en fraude moeten weten wie de UBOs van een een BV zijn, zie bijvoorbeeld https://together.bunq.com/d/1014-how-do-i-open-a-bunq-business-membership

        Voor zover ik weet mag een bank wel zelf uitmaken wie ze als klant accepteren of niet.

          @Sander#105798 Any update on this? Would be happy to join Bunq with my business.
