I’m jagan parthasarathy from India doing my masters in Ingolstadt. I am a student and started working for a automotive company in augsburg. I would like to save my income in a separate account with no initial deposit conditions or charges. This might help me when I extend my visa to show the proof of my financial status how much I have in my account. Kindly revert me back.
Thank you,
Regards,
Jagan Parthasarathy
Hi Jagan,
Targobank is free for students and trainees, but you should have your students registration. Otherwise it is free if you have your monthly salary deposited there.
For extending the Visa, it depends on the Beamter (Officer) at the Rathaus. For student Visa you would need to provide a blocked account, but for other visas (e.g. job search) you will just need to provide a statement from the bank. But I am not sure if Targobank provides a blocked account.
You can look at other banks such as Postbank which provides both facilities and also free for students. If you presently have a monthly income, make use of it and look for banks which offer joining bonus, e.g. Netbank(€100 bonus + free account), DAB (€90 bonus + free account) which do not incur charges after you stop depositing after sometime. Targobank does.
Good luck,
Dear Sir,
I am Kartono from Indonesia. I am living at Indonesia. My occupation is an online antique seller. I just follow an auction site at Netherlands (www.catawiki.com). And this site ask me to provide an Europe Bank account to accept my payment.
My question is, can apply for an account by online (not visiting to Germany) ? If I can, can I replace my Postident with a notarized passport from the Germany embassy at my country ?
I don’t need a credit card, I think it will be better if I use online banking to send my money to my bank account at Indonesia.
Thank you for your attention.
Kind regards,
Kartono

Unless there is any limitation by US government from paying pension abroad, you should be able to instruct your bank/agency paying your retirement to deposit it to your German bank account by giving them your bank account details (account number and SWIFT code). But please note that international transfers usually incur fees, and your paying bank might deduct those fees from your deposits. And there are also currency conversion costs, so be prepared to see a smaller amount being deposited into your account than you might have expected.
I am Beat and i live in Germany. would like to get a quick loan to finance my intensive Germany course beginning September 3rd. what do i need to acquire a loan at Targo Bank. I a m working with minimum income salary.
Hello i want to ask, why i cant make a internacional transaction with targo, i need to send money to another acount that isnt german, with targoapp and how can i pay trough internet because im having a several problems, for example with flights or bus tickets
Usually, the apps have limited functions, so try using online banking for international transfers (Überweisung or Auslandsüberweisung). Note that all Euro bank account with IBAN is a normal transfer using SEPA. International transfer using bank usually incur a high transaction cost (e.g., €20 with Targobank). So try services like transferwise, read more about international money transfer.
To pay using the internet, it depends on the website you are making your purchase. If the website (usually German Airlines) offers SOFORT payment option, then you can pay using your bank account. Some EU/German websites also allow paying through EC-Karte (V-Pay or Maestro) debit card. You can also link your German bank account with Paypal and use that as an option. Otherwise, most international websites require a credit card. If you don’t have a credit card, check out these free credit cards.
Thank you so much

Hi there!
So I have solid amount of cash and I’d like to know if it’s possible to put it in an account in Targo bank as soon as I open one. What are the conditions for a cash deposit? Which cash machines can be used, is there any fee and are there any daily or monthly limits?
And I can not usually find any information about cash deposits in any bank I’ve been looking through, do you know any reasons? I am interested in a bank that can allow me to put cash on my account without any troubles and with as little fee as it possible. If you have a piece of advice, I’d be really grateful!
Thank you in advance.
