In February 2024, Welcount (formerly Welcome Account) marked a decisive turning point in its development by taking part in the hit TV show « Qui veut être mon associé ? » broadcast on M6. A unique opportunity to present our social mission to millions of viewers and a panel of recognised investors.


A social mission brought into the spotlight

On the set, Rooh Savar and Caroline Span, cofounders of Welcount, presented their vision:

an inclusive neobank dedicated to people who have recently arrived in Europe, offering them fast access to a bank account, a payment card, as well as personalised support (rights, housing, tax…).


A successful investment offer

The pitch won over entrepreneur Anthony Bourbon, who offered an investment of €300,000 for 10% of the equity. Strong recognition of the relevance of our B2B2C business model and our social impact.


A driver of visibility and growth

Following the broadcast of the episode, Welcount benefited from increased media coverage and a surge of opportunities. In less than a year, more than 1,000 organisations — companies, universities and associations — chose Welcount to support their international employees, students or beneficiaries.


What this means for your organisation

  • A practical, proven solution to make the financial and administrative integration of foreign audiences easier

  • A reliable model supported by leading media and economic players

  • An engaged partner for your inclusion and diversity projects
