What are the tax obligations for businesses in Germany?
Businesses operating in Germany are required to register with the tax authorities (Finanzamt) and will need to comply with the country's tax regulations, including VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) and corporate tax filings. Non-resident companies with operations in Germany should consult with local tax advisors to ensure compliance.
Do I need to visit Germany to open a business account?
No, you do not need to visit Germany to open a business account. With Banq Global, you can open your account entirely online, making it a convenient option for non-resident directors and international businesses.
Do I need a physical office in Germany?
No, a physical office is not required to open a business account in Germany. Banq Global provides a fully online application process, allowing businesses to open an account without needing a local office or staff in Germany.
Do you offer a multi-currency business account?
Yes, all of our business accounts come with multicurrency capabilities, meaning you can receive, exchange, and payout in over 130 currencies.
What is the German IBAN, and why is it important?
An IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is required for making and receiving payments within the Eurozone. Having a German IBAN makes it easier to do business with German partners, suppliers, and clients.
Will the account be in my company name and come with local German account details and a German address?

Who are the top banks in Germany for businesses?
Some of the leading banks for business accounts in Germany include:
Deutsche Bank, DZ Bank, Commerzbank, Sparkasse, Postbank, Volksbank.
These local banks can work well for local, traditional and incomplex companies whose staff and offices are based locally. However, when it comes to non-resident directorship, operating internationally and accessing preferential exchange rates, companies need an international specialist. This is where clients turn to Banq Global.
