> In Germany every bank is obliged to offer everyone a so-called base account

That's very commendable; I wish more countries had such a regulation. Does it extend to non-citizens living in Germany? What about to visitors to Germany? Could someone open an account (by right) while there on a holiday?

Non-citizens absolutely. Completely illegal immigrants no, but rejected asylum seekers who cannot be reasonably expected to leave the country yes. (The term is "geduldet", but I don't know the exact legal definition.) Visitors no, I'd guess.

Right, now I see why you ask, I wrote citizen right. Maybe I should have written human right.

In German there is the term of the "foreign co-citizen", not sure what an English equivalent would be. So when I wrote citizen I had in mind those with German citizenship and foreign co-citizens. It just includes everyone living in the country. (Illegal immigrants are smaller topic in Germany than the US, so there is little need to think about that distinction.)
