List of German Bank Accounts

When do I need a German bank account?

when you have no account to receive and send EUR
when you want to have standing orders (regular payments) and your current EUR account does not support them
when you need a German account number (IBAN, staring with DE...). Some business and authorities do still not accept non-German IBAN

Just pick one from the list below, or from one of the comparisons.

For creating an account, you will usually need:

- an ID or passport if you are from EU/EEA - a passport if you are from outside EEA - proof of residence is often not needed
