German Bank Accounts
Posted by Jason on 2016-01-08 02:36:40
In case anyone is interested, a draft law was approved in November 2015 stating that all legal residents in germany (including homeless people) were entitled to a bank account. Apparently it was already pressed on banks to make it easier for those with no fixed abode. Unfortunately this wasn't being followed, hence the law (not yet in force).

I have booked an appointment with Sparkasse Erlangen and have been informed that my Anmeldung certificate and passport will suffice. Thanks for the help Nick.
