You can transfer your existing SEPA Direct Debit payments with our free integrated tool, which will help you get this done in a few minutes.

Please note: To migrate your Direct Debits, you'll need a my.Solaris account so our partner, Qwist, can securely access and retrieve your Direct Debit details.

My.Solaris is Solaris' designated platform for managing third-party access to your Finom account. Not signed up yet? See a step-by-step guide below. The process takes just a few minutes.

To start the registration process, click the “Register” button.

On the following page, enter your email and your phone number which shall be connected to the account. While the email will be used as your login, the phone number is required to contact you in case a password recovery is needed. Make sure to enter the phone number in its international format (e.g., +491234567890 for the German phone number 01234567890).

Upon successful completion and clicking the “Register” button, you will receive an email containing a temporary password, which you will need to move forward with your registration.

In case you did not receive an email, check your spam folder. As soon as you have access to the mail, click the “Log in” button or the link in the email, followed by a click on “Log in” on the following page.

Enter your email and the password you have just received, then click the “Log in” button to confirm.

Afterward, you’ll be asked to add your Finom account to your my.Solaris account. Enter the account’s IBAN and the telephone number corresponding to the account and click “Continue”.

You’ll receive a six-digit TAN code via SMS to your entered phone number, which you’ll have to enter on the next page. It may take several minutes to receive the SMS.

Next, you need to prove that you have access to the bank account you want to connect. Log into your Finom account. Your transaction list for the account you are trying to connect will show a 0,00 EUR transaction from my.Solarisbank. Click the transaction to show the details.

Enter the verification code on the my.Solarisbank website and click “Continue”.
