As soon as you are in Germany and you have completed the legitimation process you can set up a monthly pay-out 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 'Banking' 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:

Can I use N26 to transfer money from blocked account?
Hello. From January 8 to March 2, 2018, I have paid for language courses in Germany. I opened a blocked account to open a national visa. But since language courses last less than 3 months, the national visa was not opened to me. I have a Schengen visa. I transferred money to a blocked account for the duration of my stay. I will live with my relatives. How can I withdraw money upon arrival in Germany? Can I from a blocked account opened at Finbito transfer money to my existing account in my country (Belarus)

Hi, I want an applicant Visa (3 months and option to convert to a student visa if admitted). I just applied to a university but in case I don't get admitted I can continue looking for universities and extend my 3-month visa to 6 months. Do I need to show admission papers to use the money?
