      Hi Lydia,

      Unfortunately DKB does not open blocked accounts for students. The blocked accounts are only offered by banks with branches (such as DeutscheBank, HypoVeriensbank, Sparkasse etc) and not by online/internet banks.

      But you can of course open a blocked account in another bank and also open a DKB students bank account as a second bank account for its free credit card. You can then set up automatic transfer from your blocked account to DKB account each month and use you DKB card withdrawing and making other payments.
