helios, the payment and savings service displaying its commitment to financing the ecological transition, is expanding its offering to individual entrepreneurs with a new pro account.
After accounts (current, young, common) and life insurance for individuals: helios, self-proclaimed “the greenest account in France”, opens a new area of activity. The mission-driven company has just revealed an account designed for the 4.3 million self-employed workers what is in France.
A sector in which the offer is already plethoric, but where helios hopes to stand out thanks to a key argument: commitment to the ecological transition. “The world of work is changing: more and more people, particularly young people, are opting for individual entrepreneurship and the creation of micro-enterprises,” explains Maeva Courtois, co-founder of helios, in a press release. “(…) It was natural for helios to develop, at a very competitive price, an offer specially designed for them, in order to make their daily lives easier while allowing them to take concrete action for the environment. »
The credo of the payment and savings service is, in fact, the following: it is committed to directing its users’ money towards environmentally friendly investment projects. “Independents can thus follow projects financed by helios directly from their application in complete transparency and also benefit from a selection of offers negotiated with ethical traders,” details a press release.
Helios, the neobank that protects the climate with your money
An inexpensive but minimalist offer
Billed 6 euros per month (i.e. the same price as the equivalent offer dedicated to individuals), the new helios pro account is rather in the low range of the market.
The base of services provided, however, is quite minimalist: an account with a Visa bank card without fees abroad, real-time balance updating, transaction notifications, categorization of expenses, tallying of transactions , adding notes… But for the moment, no functionality specifically dedicated to the advanced needs of individual entrepreneurs.
