@@maxyoko bro can you make a video about santander bank because nobody has a proper video about santander bank. santander simply offers everything for free🤔🤔. so its very doubltfull. and is it possible for an international student to open a santander bank account before finding a residense?

Your contents are really beneficial !! There are various types of ed instituitions , TH , TU and FH. Please POST a video onthe differences , pros and cons , job opportunities for Bachelors AND masters . YOU ROCK :)
recently stumbled upon your channel and really enjoyed watching your videos so far, they're beautifully edited, not much cuts and very mellow to watch. love that type of content. you're giving so many helpful tips to us younger people, keep it up :) great video again. have a great week, so cool to see so honest and genuine human beings just trying to be a helpful light for others. can't wait to see what the future has in store for you. you gained a new subscriber for sure :))
I use a combination of Trade Republic, Revolut and Commerzbank. I needed a german IBAN immediately and commerzbank were the only ones that didn’t ask me for my tax ID or residence permit (i had a 6 month working visa)
@@asvathg358 Some reasons are high monthly fees, paid debit card, paid instant bank transfer, not many ATMs in their group In my eyes, there are much better alternatives out there :)
When it comes to credit cards, things get complicated so I'll have to make a dedicated video about it. For debit cards, I can recommend Revolut or C24 because they don't have foreign currency fees
@@maxyoko would love to watch a video about the credit cards game in Germany 😁 Also I have a question, why do you never recommend wise? It’s very similar to revolut.
Hey Max! Just found out that C24 bank does not have English language in the app which certainly makes it difficult for me as an international student to understand certain things. What would be your suggestions regarding Revolut bank as it has most of the benefits as C24 and it also has its app in English
I am thinking of replacing my revolut with c24. The app in german is not a big problem for me anymore...over the years I got used to the banking technical terms. (I use Postbank as main bank for my salary and Barclays Visa as a credit card in case of an emergency) But C24 seems so much better then revolut. Revolut has been cutting costs in the last couple of years and dont offer the same benefits they used to...especially for the payed plans. If you plan to remain in Germany after your school, you will need to lear the language anyway...otherwise you will not integrate in to the society and will not feel welcomed here. So there is no point in using an inferior product just because its in english! With C24, just the fact that you recieve interest for having money in your current account is wild.
My question is Can i open a bank account and link it to my blocked account the first day i arrive in Germany using my admission letter and my country passport even without having accommodation and city registration ?
I'm new in Germany and finding it difficult to get an appointment at Sparkasse. N26 and C24 require a resident permit. I'm considering opening an account at Santander. Is Santander a good choice for a bank account?
Thank you for this enlightening video. Question: can one conveniently switch account from an old traditional bank(Commerz Bank for eg) to a Neo Bank(C24 for eg)?
@maxyoko how long have you been using c24 as a main account? Do you trust them to keep your salary? (in the sense that Revolut is known to suddently block acces to your money untill they investigate why today you hade more bowl movements than yesterday). Can you take out a Personalkredit or Autokredit? Would you use them in this way?
If a bachelor's degree is 7 semesters long, chances are high that there is an internship included All the info can usually be found on the university website
@@maxyoko Actually looking for masters haha, I have noticed your channel is focused on bachelors as is what you are doing at the moment, but thanks anyways!
Firstly, I have decided on two countries: Sweden and Germany. I encountered some processing issues in Germany. Later, I tried applying to Sweden and received an offer from Stockholm University for a Master's in Data Science. Is it worth studying there in the winter intake of 2024, or should I wait for Germany's summer intake in 2025? What should I do?
Hi! I'm an aupair here in Germany. I still don't have my residential permit. It will take time for me to receive it. Is there a way I can open a german bank account with just my passport and visa without paying any admin fees?
Amazing video as always! btw I was wondering whether you knew if Hochschule Munchen accepts language certificates during enrollment. I saw it on the admission website but wasn't sure if it's true. If it is, then it'll def give me enough time to get a C1 certificate for German. Otherwise, I'll have to hope B2 is good enough for the German courses..

Hi, I am Peace from Rwanda. I am planning to study in Germany at a public university of course. This is one of my dreams and I want to get in there. But here is the problem, I had an alternative to study but also stayed in my extended family living in Hanover, Germany. But it turns out many good universities are in Munich, Berlin, and Frankfurt, which is pretty expensive and I don't know what to do. Are there scholarships where they can give you a stipend to help you live there or maybe you can give me an advice? Have a good day!
I am currently in first year bachelors in India and planning for this semester in Germany but i have my first semester result and i will give my 2nd sem exam in month of may. It will take minimum one month to get result of 2nd sem. Is there any chances of getting admission this semester? Please do reply!

@@maxyoko Interest free credit cards. So are you saying that none of the banks in Germany has islamic banking? Dealing with interest is against my religious belief, so do I have any alternatives?
@@mmcl10 If you don't spend more money than you have, you never have to deal with interest. I believe KT Bank has Islamic banking tho I probably should make a video about credit cards :)
@maxyoko You know that there can be positive interest though, right? For example at my Sparkasse I've always gotten 0.05% of interest on my money even in the Girokonto. This isn't halal. Typically you get interest on a Tagesgeldkonto though, not a Girokonto. As someone who provides financial advice like this video online, you should definitely know about interest on deposited cash
Just check with the bank, most Girokonten (which are type of account he talked about in the video) don't give you any interest for having your money there. Of course there is interest to be paid when you are in debt though.
hi max! love all of your videos that i've seen so far. just wanted to ask if germany provides fully funded scholarships? i've been looking around for scholarships (i want to study in the business/economics field, do not know german but very willing to). keep up the hard work
Sparkassen are usually regional banks, so it was not possible for me to properly compare the features But from what I've heard, a lot of them have pretty good features
@@maxyoko Do you think it's possible to use WISE or Revulto until I get my residence permit because those 2 platforms don't require a residence permit!
