After opening a bank account, one can use internet banking services (e.g. make payments and transfers via internet, check account balance) and get a debit or bank card (a plastic card that provides an alternative payment method to cash in shops and many other places). There are ATMs in almost every street corner. The card’s monthly maintenance fee depends on bank and owners age (average cost is 1 EUR).
