Here’s what happy students are saying
Fintiba’s service was a real lifesaver for me! I got my admission very late and therefore had very little time to open a blocked account. But with Fintiba Transfer I was able to send the money to Germany within one day and my blocking confirmation was issued immediately. I recommend Fintiba to everyone outside, looking to open a blocked account in a trustworthy and reliable organisation!

☝ Please note: Due to regulatory restrictions we cannot offer our Fintiba Transfer services to applicants for job-seeker visas/residence permit applicants.
No. The use of Fintiba Transfer is free of charge, meaning that you don’t have to pay any additional fees for using the service. On top of that, you can pay in your money in your local currency and enjoy great exchange rates.
Compared to an international bank transfer, you do not need to include an additional buffer deposit of € 100.00, as this is no longer required. Our transfer partners guarantee that the full amount will be credited to your account and that your blocking confirmation can be issued immediately.
So in summary, you can say that with Fintiba Transfer, you are choosing speed, comfort and simplicity without any additional effort.
For more information on the individual amounts, you will also find your transfer information document in the Documents section once the account is opened.
☝ Please note: The refund via Fintiba Transfer is only possible when you have first funded your account via Fintiba Transfer.
Refunds, especially when the original account where the money came from is outside Germany, can take up to 3-4 weeks due to the intermediary banks involved in the payment chain. In addition to that, these cross-border payments incur expensive currency exchange rates and extra commissions, as banks usually have additional fees for international transfers.
In case you do not come to Germany or have to leave the country earlier than expected, you would benefit from a faster, cheaper and more convenient refund procedure if you use Fintiba Transfer.
You can close your account yourself within the Fintiba app. You can read more about this process here. After you have completed these steps, our Customer Care Team will review your closure application with all the documents provided and help you close the account.
Once you receive confirmation that the account has been closed, you will receive your refund faster than with a regular international bank transfer. In the Fintiba account, you will always be informed about the current status of your money
In most cases, it is possible to pay with a credit card, however, this always depends on the local regulations in your country and the availability of local accounts. Fintiba Transfer always provides you with all payment options that we can offer for the country that you are transferring from.
Once starting the Fintiba Transfer process, you will need to select where you want to make the transfer from. Having selected your desired country, you will see the different payment methods available based on local and international laws.
☝ Please note: As the money has to arrive in the blocked account in Euros, we will make sure that with Fintiba Transfer you have the best possible exchange rates from your local currency.
TransferMate allows you to make international payments to Fintiba free of charge where TransferMate has a localised account, without paying international bank charges while receiving competitive exchange rates.

- Pay in your own currency
- A more streamlined payment process
