Konto PRO podnikání

Konto PRO podnikání by MONETA Money Bank

Konto PRO podnikání is a business current account from MONETA Money Bank, aimed primarily at self-employed individuals (OSVČ) and small business owners looking for a simple, free tool for everyday payments. The account targets business owners who don't want to deal with complicated fee-waiver conditions or pay extra for routine banking operations — the bank promises no charges regardless of turnover, number of transactions, or account balance.

Fees and account maintenance

The main advantage of this account is that both opening and maintaining it are free, with no conditions attached — no minimum balance, no required number of card payments per month, no standing orders needed. The bank states this clearly on its website: "You pay nothing for the account and meet no conditions." The account also includes unlimited incoming and outgoing electronic payments, instant payments and SEPA payments free of charge. Instant payments mean the money reaches the recipient's account within seconds instead of the standard next-business-day processing, while SEPA payments allow free euro transfers within eurozone countries and other participating states. This combination — no monthly fee plus free instant and SEPA payments — is a fairly generous offer in the business-account market, where these services are often charged separately or capped at a limited number of transactions per month.

Cards and ATM withdrawals

The bank provides two debit cards included with the account, with no additional issuance or maintenance fee. Cash withdrawals are free both from MONETA Money Bank's own ATMs and from the shared ATM network of other banks in the Czech Republic, as well as abroad. This is a fairly generous offer — foreign cash withdrawals at competing business accounts are often charged as a percentage of the withdrawn amount or a fixed fee per transaction, so business owners who travel or spend abroad more frequently could see real savings here.

Sign-up bonus for new clients

The account currently also offers a sign-up bonus in the form of cashback: new clients who are self-employed individuals and have not held a business account with MONETA Money Bank in the past six months can get 5% cashback on every debit card payment for six months. The reward is capped at CZK 500 per month, so even with a high volume of card payments, the total payout cannot exceed CZK 3,000 over the whole six-month period. Another condition is that only one current account may be held per client name — so the bonus is not intended for clients opening an additional, parallel account alongside an existing one at another bank or at MONETA itself.

For reference: reaching the full monthly cap of CZK 500 at a 5% rate requires roughly CZK 10,000 in card spending per month (this is a simple calculation derived from the bonus terms, not a separately guaranteed amount). For many small business owners with regular card payments, this is a realistically achievable but not automatic target — at lower spending volumes, the actual reward will be lower than the headline figure of CZK 3,000.

Who is this account for

Konto PRO podnikání works best for self-employed individuals and small business owners who need a simple, free account with no hidden conditions and who value being able to pay by card and withdraw cash abroad without fees. Since the bank does not offer an overdraft with this account — overdraft is handled as a separate product with a limit of up to CZK 2.5 million — the account itself is not ideal for business owners who need to regularly draw on operating credit directly through their current account; that need would have to be met by arranging a separate overdraft facility.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Account opening and maintenance free with no conditions
• Unlimited electronic transfers, instant payments and SEPA payments free of charge
• Two debit cards included with the account
• Free ATM withdrawals in the Czech Republic and abroad
• Sign-up bonus of up to CZK 3,000 for new clients

Cons

• Cashback capped at CZK 500 per month for only 6 months
• Bonus available only to new clients without an account at the bank in the last 6 months
• No overdraft included — offered as a separate product

Summary

Konto PRO podnikání ranks among the simpler and cheaper business accounts on the Czech market — no monthly fee, no waiver conditions, and free cash withdrawals both domestically and abroad. The 5% cashback sign-up bonus is a nice extra for new clients, but because of the CZK 500 monthly cap it functions more as a modest reward for everyday spending than a major financial incentive to switch. For self-employed people looking for a transparent account with no hidden fees and free foreign withdrawals, this is a solid choice.
