In the cation of the title salt, C12H14N3O+·C24H20B-, the dihedral angle between the quinoline ring and the mean plane of the urea fragment is 61.51 (5)°. In the crystal, the cations interact through weak C-H...O hydrogen bonding, forming a zigzag chain along the c-axis direction; the cations and anions are involved in weak intermolecular C-H...[pi] and N-H...[pi] interactions as donors and acceptors, respectively.
