Figures that speak for themselves
We answer your questions about the online account for the self-employed
What specific advantages does the Sabadell Online Account offer me as a self-employed person in my everyday life?
The Sabadell Online Self-Employed Account is for the self-employed and offers multiple advantages:
- 0 account management or maintenance fees.
- €120 cashback every year for paying your self-employed social insurance contribution (RETA). This benefit also applies to self-employed workers in the Special Agricultural System and the Special Maritime Scheme.
- 1 % APR yield for balances of up to a maximum of €20,000.
- Free Business debit and credit cards (no issue or maintenance fees) for the main and joint holders.
- Free online transfers in Euro within the European Economic Area, except for immediate transfers.
- Access to an expert manager for self-employed people who can assist you at branches or through digital channels.
How does Banco Sabadell help me with my self-employed contribution (RETA) payment?
If you set up the payment of the Special Scheme for Self-Employed Workers (RETA) to be direct debited from your Sabadell Online Self-employed Account, we will pay €30 gross each quarter*, which adds up to a total of €120 per year. This benefit also applies to self-employed workers in the Special Agricultural System (SETA) and the Special Maritime Scheme (RETM).
*The quarterly incentive is deemed to be investment income included in the savings tax base of personal income tax (IRPF), so it is subject to withholding tax of 19%.
I am starting out as self-employed. What do I need to open this bank account?
Does the Sabadell Self-Employed Online Account include personal expenses cards?
Yes. The account comes with a Business debit card and a Business credit card with no issue or maintenance fees. You can use those cards to pay your business expenses with complete peace of mind and make free debit cash withdrawals at all Banco Sabadell ATMs. The granting of the credit card is subject to the Bank’s risk criteria and its approval, after the relevant risk and viability study has been carried out.
My business needs a POS to accept card payments. What solutions do you offer?
When you open a Sabadell Online Self-Employed Account, you will be able to access solutions for collecting card payments, such as a POS terminal. See here for the options available.
We also have specific offers adapted to different sectors.

Will I have a personal account manager who understands the needs of a self-employed person?
Yes. When you open the account, you will have a team of experts in self-employment at your disposal, in our more than 1,000 branches or through digital channels. You will also have a personalised helpline available to assist you with day-to-day management.
How do I manage my personal and professional finances? Do I need two separate accounts?
How exactly does the 1% APR return on the self-employed account work?
The Sabadell Online Account offers a return of 1% NIR per annum, 1.005% APR. This return is calculated on the average monthly balance you hold in the account, with a maximum balance limit of €20,000 to be interest-bearing. The interest accrued is settled on a monthly basis and credited to the account on a monthly basis, on the 15th day of the following month (or on the first working day before it).
Are there any fees if one month I earn less or have no income?
Is it possible to open a Sabadell Self-Employed Online Account with two account holders?
Yes. The account permits a maximum of two holders, but does not accept authorised persons. The registration process can start with one or two account holders. If you select the two account holders option, the first account holder will complete their registration, and the second one will receive an email invite to join and complete their part of the process.
What is the difference between the self-employed social insurance contribution cashback and the bills cashback?
These are two different benefits with two distinct ends:
- The cashback of up to €120 per annum for the RETA payment is an exclusive benefit of the Sabadell Self-Employed Online Account.
- The 3% energy and gas bills cashback is an exclusive benefit of the Sabadell Online Account for personal use. If you as a self-employed worker open a personal use account, you will be able to enjoy this benefit.
