System can't read new passports! Rejected my valid, newly-issued passport. Their IDnow system can't process newer passport formats. This affects multiple German fintechs (Kontist, Finom, Qonto all use IDnow). No alternative verification offered. Unacceptable for a modern fintech to reject valid government ID due to outdated technology.

Hi Isabella, we’re sorry to hear about your experience. ID verification is carried out by our partner IDnow, and the accepted documents are based on regulatory requirements. BaFin defines which IDs are considered sufficient and secure. Please contact us at support@kontist.com so we can review your case. Kind regards, Your Kontist-Team

I'm using the bank account and the tax service and so far its been great! If you are just starting out as a freelancer and you don't speak German then this is a life saver. They handle all communications and reporting with the finanzamt and answer any of your questions very quickly. Highly recommend
