Hi,
I’m intending to open a current account in the HypoVereinsbank and I would like to know if those conditions and advantages listed above are applicable only for the “Online checking account” or for a normal current one as well.
One more thing is that i don’t speak perfect german so do you offer the online banking in english as well?
Thanks in advance for your help..
Hi Brandon,
First off, I do not represent the bank, this website it for information only and all the information are my own views.
Having said that, the above conditions and advantages are for Online Checking Account, I will update the page to include the normal Checking account as well.
In short, for the normal checking account “HVB Konto Klassik” there will be no joining bonus, and you will have a monthly maintenance fees of €5.90 unless you maintain a quarterly balance of €1500.
But you will of course be able to use the bank branch, unlike the online account where you will have to pay fees for using the service at a branch. English details of Classic Current account can be found here.
I opened a bank account with HVB when I first came to Germany, they have a friendly staff and opening an account was easy, and since I was a student then, I got a free bank account, I still maintain a bank account there and would recommend it. Though it does not provide online banking webpage in English, you can use Google Chrome and translate the webpage (not Google Translate) for the first few times till you get a hang of it. I have used it and the page is still secure signed, so I did not have to worry about security.
If you are concerned about maintaining a high quarterly balance but still want to have a normal current account with a branch, you can check out other banks (listed with increasing order of minimum monthly deposit) like
Postbank : free with monthly salary deposit of €1000 + €50 gift card as joining bonus + Free Visa card
Targobank : free with monthly deposit of €1000 for Branch account
Commerzbank : Free with monthly deposit of €1200 + €50 as joining bonus
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions

I have an a/c but all the statemens info is in German even though I do understand. I regularly receive a statement from Hypoveriensbank in UK from their M-Ramersdaorf branch but the branch address does not show on their website ! I can’t even contact them as the phone number on their statement does not appear to be correct. You should look for a bank which clearly has an english website!
