Opening a bank account

For your initial expenses in Germany you may use a credit card (generally accepted in department stores and in restaurants) or traveler’s cheques.

In order for EML Research to pay your grant, it is necessary for you to open a bank account.

To open a bank giro account ("Girokonto"), you may need (depending on the bank):
  • Passport
  • Visa/Residence title
  • Registration certificate ("Anmeldebestätigung") at the local public office ("Bürgeramt")
  • Letter of acceptance (“Zulassungsbescheid”) from the university
Here are links to a selection of German banks:
