12. CAN I OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN A GERMAN BANK?
To make a purchase of real estate in Germany it is not necessary to open an account in a German bank. All necessary payments can be made through a bank in any other country.
But after buying a property in Germany (usually rented out) buyers need to open an account in a German bank for the convenience of payments of rent and utilities, or in the case of using the services of a special house management – to get a net income on their account.
Our company can only help you open a German bank account if you bought a property with our company.
This service is free of charge for our clients. For non-clients the service is chargeable. To open an account you will need only a valid passport.
After opening an account, the client gets on-line access to their account and can make any transactions with their account on-line, which is very convenient for foreign nationals.
