Expatrio

Moving to Germany comes with a long checklist — and Expatrio is designed to help you tick the most critical boxes before you even land. Founded in Berlin, Expatrio specialises in the three essentials that international students and expats need to obtain their German visa: a certified blocked account (Sperrkonto), statutory health insurance, and a free German bank account.

The blocked account is required by German immigration authorities to prove you can financially support yourself during your stay. Expatrio sets one up quickly, with official confirmation typically issued within 24 hours — making it one of the fastest options on the market. The account holds the required amount (currently around €11,904 per year for students) and releases monthly instalments once you arrive in Germany.

Beyond the blocked account, Expatrio partners with public health insurers to offer compliant health coverage and provides a free everyday bank account powered by UniCredit. Everything is managed through a single online dashboard, in English, making it especially accessible for newcomers who haven’t yet found their footing in German bureaucracy.

Whether you’re a student, a job-seeker on a search visa, or an expat making the move permanent, Expatrio simplifies the financial admin so you can focus on settling in.
