When we first moved we opened a bank account with a traditional German bank, and it was well, awful. From everything being in German, to really poor customer service we were not impressed.
N26 is a German neo-bank that has really changed the banking game in Germany for the better.
Benefits
Easy to set up, everything is done securely online.
They are an English Language Friendly Bank, unlike traditional German Banks. The App is user-friendly and available in English. Customer service is in English. All the important banking documents that you need to actually read, are in English. Can I get an Amen?
Once your account is open, you have access to instant transfers, automated budgeting software based on your actual spending habits, credit options where you qualify and so many more cool features.
I have used them for years now and I have zero complaints.
Did I mention their entry-level account has no fees?
