Everyone needs an account with a bank, but you have to pay attention to a few things.
We have three banks here where you can open an account. Sparkasse Paderborn-Detmold, then the Verbundvolksbank – OWL and the Volksbank Delbrück Hövelhof.
To open an account you need a valid ID with photo, the fiction certificate is not enough. In the fiction certificate, however, you can in exceptional cases insert a photo at the immigration office. With a registration certificate from the city hall, costs 9 euros, you can now open the account at one of the banks.
With the account you can send and receive money, but it also costs money, a kind of service fee. So if you do not leave money on the account, which can happen quickly in the beginning if all the applications are not through yet, the account will go down because of the fees and in the worst case will be resolved because it is not been used.
One of the biggest problems here is that many people pick up all the money immediately when it arrives. The behavior is absolutely wrong, because it always comes back to the fact that the bills are not paid and then you receive reminders and payment requests, which then cost you money. The white piece of paper you get when you make a bank transfer is not a receipt, it’s just a piece of paper. Whether the money of the transfer was actually transferred, depends on whether the money is in the account. If something has not worked out, you can tell by the fact that the account states a minus and then immediately after that a plus on this transfer. Of course you should notice at the latest that something is not right, if you get the letter of the chargeback from the bank.
