How is Qonto using AI agents for small-business financial admin?

Qonto's AI agents draft bank transfers, invoices, and pay slips for small-business customers, who approve before anything is sent. Anthropic reports transfers 2X faster, invoice creation 3X faster, and payroll 5X quicker.

How it works

  1. Agents prepare transfers without manual beneficiary search or reference copying.
  2. Agents draft invoices and pay slips.
  3. Customer gives final approval before money moves or documents send.

Risks & compliance

  • Vendor-published results; not independently audited
  • Payments require explicit customer approval (human in the loop)
