For any business trip, client lunch or equipment purchase, create a dedicated, temporary Flash card. You give autonomy while keeping budgets under control.

Create a Flash card each time a team member needs to make a one-off expense. Flash cards are custom, temporary virtual cards.

😎 How does it work?

1. Any time an employee has a purchase to make or a business trip to organize, they can explain the use case including the amount and period of use required.
2. From the Cards section, you create a new, unique card by choosing Flash card. Set the payment limit and the final day of use. The Flash card is immediately available in the employee's Qonto account, under their Cards section.
3. Your employee can pay online or offline (with Apple Pay or Google Pay). No need to manage it after the expense(s), the Flash card automatically expires at the date set.

Enjoy!

Your cash flow has never been more organized, allowing you to prepare your bookkeeping with ease. You can now create and customise up to 10 categories of labels, allowing you to accurately categorise your transactions and suppliers.

For example, you could categorise your transactions by team. For marketing, a "Marketing" label category could include labels such as "Events", "Online Advertising", or "Website".

Adding labels to your transactions and suppliers will help you save valuable time in your bookkeeping, expense management and business analysis.

In the blink of an eye, you can identify the right transactions and suppliers you are looking for.

🤓 How does it work?

To create, edit or delete your current label lists, go to your Qonto desktop app, and click on Bookkeeping, then Custom labels. For new labels, we've built adding categories into your existing process.

In order to add a custom label manually to any transaction, go to the History tab. For your suppliers, click on the Bookkeeping section, then on Suppliers.

These little coloured notes will brighten up this grey and windy September!

Back to work? Organise your bookkeeping flow with Qonto. We have just released new additions to check your transactions.

🔬 Step 1: List transactions that require action

From the History section, you can now filter with multiple criteria.

Expenses above 50 euros? Last week's transactions? Marketing team's transfers? Leverage our "OR" condition to display all results in one go.

E.g. Transactions above 50 euros "OR" from last week.

⚡ Step 2: Add missing receipts in a flash

Some transactions have missing receipts? No need to panic.

• For transactions made by your team members, send reminders directly from the transaction by clicking on Request attachment.
• For the efficiency lovers: easily match any digital receipt with one click by forwarding it to a unique email address. Go to Bookkeeping > Receipts forward and copy/paste the email address.

✅ Step 3: Mark transactions as verified

Your transaction has the receipt and the right VAT indicated? You can now tick Mark as verified from your desktop app. No more coming back on verified transactions! Your transactions are pinpointed, ready for bookkeeping.

Combine security with efficiency: we believe that making your account safer should not require additional effort, that's why you can now confirm any sensitive action directly from the notification received on your phone. No need to go onto your app any more, while your account remains as safe.

What are sensitive actions exactly? They are all the operations you can perform on Qonto, which require a stronger level of security, such as changing your password or ordering a new card.

🤓 How does it work?

If you haven't done so already, reinforce the security of your account by pairing your phone to Qonto. This way, we can always verify that you are the one making payments or performing an action on your account. Pairing your phone will only take you few seconds:

1. Open your Qonto mobile app and click on Plus in the lower menu;
2. Select Settings and then Security;
3. Click on Protect this account and follow the steps to add your phone.

💡 If you don't have access to Protect this account, open your web app, visit your Settings and Team and then click on Security. Add your phone from the 2-step verification and then visit again your mobile app.

Once your phone is paired, you will receive a notification on your phone every time you perform a sensitive action. With just a click, you can confirm it directly from the notification itself.
