Checking account terms and conditions
For refugees from Ukraine, who are covered by the Temporary Protection Directive, we do not charge fees for maintaining the checking account and providing a debit card until March 1, 2023. This is now €2.25 per month. The first four cash deposits per year are also free until March 1, 2023. It is possible that this will change after that date.
