​

Step 5: Track the progress of fund reception

We will inform you of fund arrivals via email or through a tracking file, depending on the number of participants in the increase.
​

⚠️ Important: We do not have direct visibility on the escrow account, which may result in delays in updating the tracking file.
​

Step 6: Receive your deposit certificate

The deposit certificate will be sent to you by email within 48 business hours after complete fund reception and the decision minutes for the increase.
​

Step 7: Provide the publication certificate from a JAL

To release the funds into your Qonto business account, you will be required to provide the publication certificate from a Journal of Legal Announcements (JAL).

💡 Note:

• This document certifies that the legal notice regarding your capital increase has been published in an authorized journal.
• You can obtain this certificate directly from the journal where your announcement was published or through specialized online platforms.
• If you are unsure which journal to choose, contact your Business Formalities Center (CFE).

⚠️ Important: Funds will only be released upon presentation of the publication certificate from a JAL.

Step 8: Receive your funds

The release of your funds into your Qonto business account will be processed within 72 business hours after the publication certificate has been validated.

Step 9: Complete the legal formalities

The capital increase must be declared with the Business Formalities Center, attaching the deposit certificate issued by Qonto. This step is mandatory to obtain an updated Kbis extract, certifying the operation.

💡 Note: The Qonto capital increase service does not cover legal formalities, which remain your responsibility.
