Safety first

Is your money actually protected in Germany?

4 of the 7 neobanks available here hold a full credit-institution licence with €100,000 DGS cover; the rest "safeguard" money at a custody bank, which is not insurance. Read the distinction in our deposit-protection guide, or jump to the live DGS tracker for the current per-bank status.
