Best German Bank?
 

Can anyone from Germany recommend the best german bank on interest rates for euro deposits? Needs to be a solid bank with a worldwide reputation in these torrid times....

deutsche bank?

Sparkasse j/k

pko? wait thats Polish...lol

HypoVereinsbank hands down.

i heard Dresdner Bank is where the real ballers bank!

Are you a farmer? Then Volksbank is for you! haha...

Im talking best retail bank with a high interest rate for euro deposits..... can someone recommend?

Depends on the amount you deposit there. I can do some research for you, let me know how much you want to deposit? Btw. why don't you deposit the money in the Swiss, Austria or Lichtenstein?

Over 50k euros. Im going to be spending an extended period of time in Berlin so im looking for something local.

Sparkasse usually has the worst conditions for deposits, but there may be exceptions.

I can recommend you Dresdner Bank, they offer a "Geldmarktkonto" which comes with 3.75% and you´ll get another 1.25% if Germany will win the European soccer championships.:)

Deutsche Bank has some good offers for business clients, but the amounts usually have to be higher volume.

Volksbanken & Raiffeisenbanken have some promotional offers for new clients, but you can´t withdraw your money within a specific time period, at least three month. So the latter won´t help you, I´m afraid.

diba.de might have something for you

diba.de has some nice offers, but they are an Online Bank only and you can open an account as a German resident only, I´m afraid.

Taken from their terms and conditions:

"Bitte beachten Sie folgende Voraussetzungen:

* Sie sind mindestens 18 Jahre alt
* Ihr Wohnsitz ist in Deutschland"

• youmust be at least 18 years
• you have to be a German resident

They pay a higher rate if Germany wins? Thats a unique promo. Im quite interested but their site doesnt have a link for english.....

If you need further information, just send me an e-mail info [at] ae-media.com. I´ll have a look at the offers tomorrow in my office and will translate it for you.

Thats very nice of you! I will do that & thanks :)

ah, ok, i'm with them since years but never looked that up. for obvious reasons - lol

You´re welcome!
