Open a new checking account

Question

Open a new checking account

Hello,

I reached out to you couple months ago. My daughter is going to be doing her internship at Daimler in Leinfelden starting in June 16th. She will need a bank account for payroll direct deposits.

How is easy to open a bank account with BW Bank? Do I need to provide Anmeldung? Do most bank officials speak English? She is still learning German and she is not fluent at all.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Hello Mustafa and Amber Cayci,

in this case, it depends on whether your daughter is underage or legal age.

If your daughter is underage, you can open a free current account worldwide via the following link:

As a legal representative, we recommend that you have the IBAN of your BW Bank account ready, if available. This will make it even easier for you to open the account.
You will need the following documents for the subsequent identity check:

- Original birth certificate of your child (to be submitted via a branch)
- from the age of 16: Identity document of your child (identity card or passport)
- Identity documents of the legal representatives (identity card or passport)
- Proof of custody if you have sole power of representation

After successful verification, the account will be opened promptly.

If your daughter is already legal age, she can open a current account on her own via the following link:

Alternatively, you can use the branch finder https://www.bw-bank.de/filialfinder to find a suitable branch and make an appointment to open a current account. Many colleagues speak English.

Best regards

Janine
