To many people nowadays, borders are just lines on a map. Put simply, home is where you charge your laptop.
Living the expat life is becoming increasingly easy. However, one of the hassles everyone has to overcome at some point is opening a bank account in a new country. We’ve all been there: waiting in line at a bank branch and scrambling to get together all the necessary paperwork to open an account.
You’d think opening a bank account was as easy as opening your laptop. Unfortunately, managing your money can be a bit of a pain.
So imagine if, instead of having to wait up to a week, you could open a bank account in just five minutes?
Imagine if paperwork was a thing of the past.
Imagine if you could open your bank account before you even moved to Germany.
Now, stop imagining, and meet bunq.
With bunq’s mobile banking service, branch visits and paperwork are a thing of the past. In fact, you can actually get your bank account before you arrive in Germany.
All it takes to get an expat bank account is to download the app on your phone and verify your identity using your phone’s camera - you can submit your TIN another time.
Not only is it possible for you to use your bank account within minutes, but you can also order up to 3 Mastercard and Maestro cards – and use them straight away – giving you the power to make instant payments all over the world.
