"This is Patrick Munro talking about the issue, can an American open a German checking or savings account. Of course, as an American, we have rights within the United States. If we choose to go outside of the United States and get involved in financial instruments, we have to be mindful of the rules of that country. For instance in Germany, if you were to set up a checking or savings account, much like in the United States you'd have to go through all the protocol with the German financial institution to find out where you live, what's the nature of your business at the bank, how much of deposits they would expect from you, and where they would send the statements to; all of the usual things. Usually a passport is required, because you are an international citizen. You can also trigger some government alerts. We have the homeland security here in our country. But of course, in Europe, they have the INTERPOL. And they're always mindful of foreigners opening up accounts on their soil, because you could be either a terrorist or a drug dealer or something like that. But if your interests are a little more mundane, and you just happen to have relatives and you travel oftentimes to Germany, be prepared to show your ID, have a story as to why you're opening up the account, and usually the financial institution will cooperate with you. Be aware that the money that you'll be trading with in Germany is euros, as opposed to dollars. And if you put U.S. dollars into a euro-based account, the numbers will be quite different. Euro is much stronger than our dollar. So it requires more dollars to build up a substantial bank balance. This is financial adviser Patrick Munro talking about setting up an account in Germany if you're an American, and what needs to be done about that."
