Bank Account Assistance
We go with you to the bank and translate during the appointment.
A Dutch bank account (IBAN) is needed for your salary, your rent and for payments from the Belastingdienst.
Every bank sets its own conditions for opening an account, and they can ask for identification, a BSN and proof of address. Which bank accepts your situation can differ.
We prepare the appointment with you, come along and translate, and explain the forms and the online banking afterwards.
What this service includes
- Checking which documents the bank asks for
- Making the appointment
- Coming with you and interpreting during the appointment
- Help with the forms and identification
- Setting up online banking and the app
- Help with a bank letter, card problem or payment question
Documents to bring
- Passport, ID card or residence permit
- BSN
- Proof of your Dutch address (registration or rental contract)
- Employment contract or income proof, if the bank asks for it

Depending on your personal situation, extra documents may be needed. We tell you what to bring before we meet.
