What is in a Monta invoice?

Financial transactions happen every month between you, Monta, and other organisations that use Monta. These transactions flow to and from your Monta Wallet.

Your invoice summarises those transactions, and the document includes:

  • Summary
  • Invoice
  • Monthly balance statement

The invoice page includes the subscriptions and fees you are paying directly to Monta.
The monthly statement page summarises all activity in the last month. It includes items you’ve been invoiced for, the revenue you earned, and any payments we paid on behalf of your organisation. We subtract that total from your invoice to arrive at the amount due.

Summary and payment instructions

If you earned more revenue than you owe this month, your amount due will be 0.

How we calculate the amount due

To arrive at the amount due, we take your invoice total and subtract your revenue and any payments we made on behalf of your organisation (such as tax refunds in Denmark).

Amount due = Invoice total − Your revenue and other services total

ItemDescription
Invoice totalTotal of all financial transactions that happened between your organisation and Monta (including VAT)
Revenue and other
services
Total of what you earned and any transactions that Monta facilitated on your behalf

This total is deducted from your invoice total and can be found on the monthly statement page.

Payment instructions

Monta offers multiple payment methods for settling your invoices, ensuring flexibility and convenience. Below, you’ll find an overview of the available payment options, along with important details to help you complete your payment smoothly.

Payment options

If there is an amount due, you can pay via:

  1. a manual bank transfer using the bank details on the first page and the invoice number as the reference.
  2. When your invoice is issued, you will receive a Stripe payment link via email. This option ensures immediate processing, and your invoice will be marked as paid instantly.
    You can use this link to pay securely with:
  • Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, etc.)
  • SEPA Direct Debit (EUR payments only)
  • Sweden only: In Sweden, you can also pay via BankGiro (BankGiro number: 450-8966)

3. Stripe vIBAN (Bank Transfer to a Virtual IBAN). For certain currencies, Monta provides a unique IBAN linked to your invoices. This allows Stripe to automatically reconcile your payment with your outstanding invoice, eliminating manual processing.

This method is currently available for EUR (except Spain) and USD payments.

Important Notes on vIBANs:

  • Your unique IBAN is only generated once an invoice with an amount due is created.
  • Each operator and team gets its own unique IBAN.
  • If you require a proof of bank statement, we can provide it only after the IBAN has been generated, i.e. when your first invoice has been generated and if that invoice ends up with an Amount Due
  • In case of overpayments, the excess amount will remain in your customer balance in Stripe. You can either request a refund or have it automatically applied to your next invoice. Note that the overpaid amount will not be transferred to your Monta Wallet.
  • In case of underpayments, your invoice will be marked as partially paid, and the remaining amount will still need to be settled. You can simply make another transfer for the outstanding balance.
  • If you have any questions about your payment or see an unmatched balance, please contact our support team for assistance.
