As soon as you are in Germany and you have completed the legitimation process you can set up a monthly payout to your current/regular bank account at any bank in Germany of your choice.
Note: the blocked account that can be opened via Fintiba at Sutor Bank (Max Heinr. Sutor OHG) is not a current account that you can use for your daily business.
The only way to access your money in Germany is to set up your monthly payouts to a separate current/regular account ("Girokonto", "Basiskonto" or "Girokonto für Jedermann") that you have to open at a bank of your choice when you arrived in Germany. We have consolidated information on opening a separate regular bank account in the "Current Account" section of the Fintiba web application for those who are registered. Below we have provided a short infographic that outlines the most important steps you must take:

What should I do in case all German banks, even online banks like N26, Ing Diba, Comdirect, etc. rejects me to open a bank account because I only have a German internship/ training visa lasting for 6 months? They all require to have a German residence permit lasting at least more than 1 year or to be a student in German, even though I am an Asian student in Finland.
