@ShadyQuark Stay away from bunq... I say that as a former customer. There was a huge outcry last year in the Netherlands about them.

They flat out refused to help or limit the damage for customers that were victims of fraud.

And that while being the most expensive bank around regarding fees.

This Seems to be the prevailing option online too. I also found that N26 and Revolut are just as shady. During my research, it seems like N26 is the worst option. Not only is it supported/funded by Peter Thiel and other American oligarchs it has a shady history Source (in German) And Revolut while mostly British also has significant Russian ownership /ties

BaFinGeldwäscheprävention: BaFin setzt Geldbuße gegen N26 Bank AG festDie Finanzaufsicht BaFin hat gegen die N26 Bank AG eine Geldbuße von 9,2 Millionen Euro festgesetzt. Der Grund: Die BaFin hatte festgestellt, dass das Institut im Jahr 2022 systematisch Geldwäscheverdachtsmeldungen verspätet abgegeben hat.

Well, dangit, there go my plans to check out the depot & stocks with N26. I didn’t know that - thanks for the info. Now I gotta find an alternative that doesn’t suck.
