Opening a Bank account

- Unfortunately, your cookie settings do not allow social media buttons to be displayed. - check your settings

We offer you two possible banks where you can open a bank account: the ABN AMRO bank or the ING bank.

 The difference between the two banks can be read here.

To apply for a bank account, please choose to which category you belong:

- I stay in temporary housing (for example: at friends, etc.) and I don’t have a Citizen Service Number (BSN): Unfortunately you cannot open a bank account yet.

- Due to the fact that you do not have a permanent residence or BSN, you cannot open a bank account yet. The bank will not accept your application. Therefore we advise you to wait and only apply when you have your BSN or a rental agreement.

- I stay in temporary housing (for example: at friends, etc.) and I do have a Citizen Service Number (BSN): You can open an account*.

I have a rental agreement: you can open an account*.
