How to Connect Your Bank Account

Simple step-by-step guide to receive payments

To receive money for your bookings on Evoluna, you need to connect your bank account. This is a secure and simple process that takes only 3-5 minutes.

Why is this necessary?

Money goes directly to your bank account
Secure - Stripe protects your data
Automatic - no action required

Important: Tax Responsibility

Evoluna platform facilitates transactions between service providers and clients. The tax liability falls entirely on the service provider. When joining Stripe, you can choose to register as an individual or as a business.

Operating as an Individual

If you use a regular personal bank account, you are responsible for declaring income and paying taxes. Income must be declared in your annual tax return.

Recommendation: Personal Business Account

We strongly recommend opening a personal business account at your bank. This is a separate account from your main account where the bank calculates and declares all taxes automatically – you can use the money immediately. Many banks offer free business account opening.

Your Obligations

  • Declare all income received through Evoluna
  • Pay income tax and social contributions according to applicable laws
  • Keep records of all transactions
  • Register for VAT if required by law

Evoluna is not a financial advisor or tax expert. We recommend consulting with an accountant or tax advisor.
