The best banks in Germany for foreigners? A look 🏦

German banking in 2025. There are interesting options for those coming from abroad. Both expatriates and students have alternatives. Let's take a look at five prominent banks.

1. N26 - The digital bank that everyone is talking about. Mobile apps that work well. No complications. It seems to be the preferred option for many foreigners due to its impeccable English. Free withdrawals at ATMs, although only three times a month. For lovers of the modern.

2. Deutsche Bank - The German giant. It has enormous assets. It operates in several languages, not just German, which is quite convenient. Its digital platform works well, although it's not perfect. International professionals often choose it. Somewhat traditional but effective. 🌍

3. Commerzbank - Third bank in the country. It mixes physical and digital. The basic online experience is in English, which is helpful. However, if you need more advanced things... well, German. It's not always easy for newcomers, but it serves its purpose. 🏢

4. Sparkasse - They are everywhere. ATMs on almost every corner. Very local, very German. The language can be a problem. It's not entirely clear if all their employees speak English. Their financial products are worth it, that's for sure. Quite competitive in terms of costs. 🤝

5. DKB - Digital and great. Tech expatriates love it. No fees, it's that simple. International operations with quite good conditions, surprisingly better than many traditional banks. Tech-savvy students feel at home. 💻
