Church tax

We will automatically transfer your church tax directly to the Tax Office (Finanzamt). In order to process the automatic transfer of church tax, we will enquire about each client’s church tax status upon establishment of the business relationship and once a year at the Federal Central Tax Office (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern). Would you prefer your church tax to be collected by the tax office (Finanzamt) instead of by us? If so, you can object to your church tax status being passed on to us. The appropriate application form for this can be found on the website of the Federal Central Tax Office (http://www.bzst.de/en) under the heading “Church tax” (Kirchensteuer). Further information about German church tax can be found in our FAQ.

I acknowledge and agree to the following addition to the terms and conditions:

ProCredit Bank is entitled to charge a custody fee for the safekeeping of credit balances on all accounts and is also entitled to amend the custody fee amount at its own discretion (section 315 BGB - German Civil Code). The amount of the current custody fee is published at www.procreditbank.de or can be queried by calling ProCredit Bank's customer service. In order to calculate the agreed custody fee, ProCredit Bank determines the daily balance per account and accrues the fee on a daily basis in accordance with the current conditions published on the bank's website.
