About your new home
A warm welcome to one of the most liveable cities in the world
Munich greets you with open arms – a city where tradition meets modernity, nature blends with culture and people from all over the world live, work and enjoy life together. Munich is so much more than just the famous Oktoberfest: the city offers a rich cultural scene – from renowned museums and theatres to classical concerts, alternative festivals and vibrant street art. At the same time, its proximity to nature is truly unique: take a walk along the Isar River, relax in the English Garden or explore the nearby Alps. As a truly international city, Munich is a melting pot of cultures – and this is especially reflected in its diverse culinary scene. Whether you’re craving Bavarian specialties, Italian cuisine, Asian fusion or plant-based fine dining – you’ll find whatever your heart desires here.

- Free cash withdrawals at all Sparkasse ATMs
- Free payments with Sparkassen-Card under 10,00 Euro
- 20 booking entries per month included

Our account models are based on account usage. Therefore, they differ, among other things, in the number of transaction entries included in the monthly base fee.
Here's how to determine the number of transaction entries you have to decide which account model is best for you:
Total all transaction entries in the transaction overview in your online banking or on your account statements for one month – mainly credits, direct debits, standing orders, payments with the of €10.00 or more (including contactless payments, via smartphone or smartwatch).
Online transfers, payments with the of less than 10,00 Euro, and cash withdrawals at Sparkasse-ATMs are not considered transaction entries; these are always free of charge!
Our account finder helps you find the right account model for you in just a few clicks.
If you're considering a low-cost account with fewer transaction entries included in the base price, here's a tip for reducing the number of transaction entries:
Pay by credit card as often as possible. This is possible not only online but also in a growing number of local stores. Here, the total amount of your credit card payments is debited from your checking account once a month, creating a single transaction.
On each monthly statement, you will find the name of your account model, the monthly base rate, and the total monthly rate. Depending on the account model, the prices for transaction entries and refunds are also listed.
For illustrative purposes, you will find examples of account statements for each account model below:
Note:
You can switch between account models at any time free of charge.
