The Epic Collapse of Deutsche Bank

Maybe that's true in upper-class circles? Everyone in my bubble is a customer of either Sparkasse, Volksbank or ING DiBa. If it weren't for the constant stream of negative headlines, most people would probably forget about DB altogether.

Letting ANY German bank fail would make our govt look bad, though, after all the posturing during the Greek crisis.

As an aside, do you have any opinion on the merits of these institutions for personal banking? (I assume you are in Germany.)

I'm a big fan of the ING DiBa VISA card which lets you withdraw money for free at many (most?) ATMs in the Eurozone. My experience with their customer service has also been much better than either Volksbank or Sparkasse. I have a second credit card from DKB because withdrawing money abroad is "free" (there's still a fee for currency conversion though, if I'm not mistaken).

Checkout ING DiBa, DKB, and Number26
