Bank Account
For your stay at 看片软件, it may be prudent to open a bank account in Frankfurt. A German bank account is generally required for salary payments and scholarships. Thus, we recommend that you open a current account/cheque account (Girokonto). You will also receive an EC card with which you can withdraw money from cash dispensers/ATMs (Geldautomaten) and make cashless payments in many shops.
German and local Banks
To open a bank account, you need a registration certificate from the B眉rgeramt, an identity document and in general a German tax-ID (you receive it automatically after having registered with the B眉rgeramt). There are several banks in Frankfurt at which you can open an account, but the services that they offer and their bank charges may differ.
