German Bank Accounts
Posted by FredW on 2016-01-06 09:45:12
I've had a Deutsche Bank account for about 10 years or so now.  I tried to open it in Bamberg but they claimed I had to be an EU resident. So I opened it in Düsseldorf, where not only was it not a problem but they had all the US (IRS) forms for Social Security Number (our tax ID number) and such.

There is a quarterly fee, though. For me it is worth it.
