All existing and new options for applying for a Dutch checking account will remain available as long as you hold Temporary Protection. The Betaalvereniging (Payments Association) reports this in a press release today
Each bank discloses on its own website how to apply for an account and the conditions and guidelines for doing so. For example, with some banks, an application must be physically submitted at a bank branch, while with other banks it can only be done online.
Almost all banks require applicants to be registered in the Dutch population register (BRP) and have a citizen service number (BSN). Banks that do not impose this requirement indicate this on their website.
More details about applying for a checking account can be found on the website of the Betaalvereniging. This also lists all banks that provide these new options, with links to their own information pages.
