We are building the business account that really helps businesses move forward.
Our mission
Thomas Vles (CEO & Founder) and Matias Tesolin (CPTO & Co-founder)
Our story
The idea for GoDutch came when Thomas Vles saw how needlessly slow, complex and expensive a business account is, especially for entrepreneurs who just want to get started.
After building companies and managing several neobanks, he decided: this can be smarter. That is how GoDutch was born: a payment solution for entrepreneurs who want to save time and money, with speed, smart automation and real human support.
GoDutch has since become more than an account. We are building a financial OS: one place for your account, cards, invoices and expenses, so working with financial tools gets easier and more efficient. All to help entrepreneurs.
Today we are building the new standard for the business account. Fast. Fair. And made for entrepreneurs.
