This will help students to save up to \u20ac109 with no additional cost. However, the offer is valid until the end of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bank charges typically \u20ac49 to set up the account and a monthly fee of \u20ac5 (\u20ac60 per year). Also, after the application students will receive a cashback on all fees once they activate their account and health insurance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bank will also open many doors for international students. The free blocked account services will make student\u2019s life easier while studying in Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A blocked account or Sperrkonto is a type of bank account, into which an applicant must deposit a fixed amount of money. The money will provide evidence of funds by which students can support themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International students planning to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/study-locations\/study-in-germany\/\">study in Germany<\/a><\/strong> must complete the process.
