How does the video call work to activate a Fintiba blocked account? Important tips

Following the successful verification of the photo we uploaded for our visa, a notification appears regarding the necessity of conducting a video call. The video call is a routine procedure conducted in order to verify the identity of the account holder. We click on "Continue" as shown in the image, and an employee will respond to you to answer their questions.

Our passport should be next to us during the identity verification call, as we may be asked to show it to confirm the accuracy of the registered data. The agent may also ask some questions related to the account, and there is no need to be nervous here, as they are routine questions. If the call is unsuccessful, we can retry several times. However, we may sometimes need to keep trying throughout the day. Therefore, we advise being patient until the verification is successfully completed.

I would like to point out that this might not be easy given the difficulty of using the German language for a newcomer, so it is best to ask the employee if the conversation can be conducted in English. It is preferable to have someone accompany us in the room who is fluent in either German or English, to help us if we cannot understand a question or a procedure.

Conclusion

After completing the previous steps in this article, we have accomplished the most important part of activating the Fintiba account to receive monthly financial payments. A few steps remain to complete the activation of the blocked bank account and health insurance. However, these remaining steps must be carried out after opening a current bank account, so that we can then link the Fintiba blocked account to the current account and receive the allocated monthly financial amount.

So now we should open the current bank account. We will have many options, some of which I will mention:

• The first option is to open a current account with Revolut. This option is popular initially because it does not require residency registration (Anmeldung), and it is well known that the registration process in Germany often takes a long time and varies from one foreigners' office to another.

• As for the second option, it is a bank Sparda Bank Berlin, we can open a current account in this bank after completing the registration process and obtaining the tax number. This bank is one of the best options for opening a current bank account, as it offers many advantages, including a 150-euro welcome cash bonus (Begrüßungsgeld), requires no account opening fees and no monthly fees, in addition to many other benefits.
