Digital Banking

Overview

Solaris' Digital Banking product allows you to offer current accounts to retail (B2C), freelance, and business (B2B) customers. These are fully-fledged bank accounts with German, French, Italian, or Spanish IBANs (depending on which branch you use).

With Solaris' current accounts, your customers will have full access to the SEPA network and can make SEPA Direct Debit and SEPA Credit Transfer transactions. You can also issue debit cards to them (VISA or MasterCard) with your own custom designs.

Non-German bank accounts

Solaris offers two options for opening bank accounts to customers outside of Germany:

• Passporting: Solaris opens a bank account with a German IBAN for a customer residing outside of Germany within the European Economic Area (EEA). This account is subject to rules and regulations from BaFin, the German financial supervisory authority.
• Branching: Solaris opens a bank account with a local IBAN for a customer residing within a country where Solaris has a branch, subject to the rules of that country's financial supervisory authority. Currently, Solaris offers branching in the following countries:
  • France
  • Italy
  • Spain
