Do you offer an account switching service?

Kontist - Account switching service - Direct debit - Standing order - Relocation

Updated over a week ago

Yes, we do! It is easy to move your business payments to us and make Kontist your main business account. We have partnered with Finleap Connect to bring you an Account Switching service that is fast and free of charge.

Getting started

To begin with make sure you have:

  • your old bank account’s online credentials and

  • your Kontist IBAN at hand (If you don’t have an account with us yet, just click here). 

To get started, head over to our Account Switching page: https://kontist.kontenwechsel.de/

How it works

As a first step we will ask you to enter your old bank account. After that, you will be asked to enter personal details, as well as your Kontist account IBAN.

Moving direct debits

We will show you a list of debits and you can choose what to move over to Kontist, and what to keep in your old account.

Moving standing orders 

At the moment, unfortunately, you will need to cancel your standing orders on your old account and set up new ones on Kontist. But don’t worry – Finleap Connect provides you with an overview to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.


After you complete your account switch it can take 5 to 7 business days for Kontist to register all your payments. For further information, check out these FAQs:  https://kontist.kontenwechsel.de/faq
