If you have a dutch bank account, you can give us permission for automated payments for the rent, which will save you a lot of time and worries. 

​

Your first payment is the only payment you will transfer. The monthly costs for the remaining period of your stay will preferably be debited by means of a ‘direct debit’ (in Dutch: ‘automatische incasso’) from your Dutch bank account. You can Google how to do so, or go to this link: https://www.iamexpat.nl/expat-info/official-issues/banking-in-the-netherlands

You will need a ‘Burgerservicenummer (BSN). To get one, you will need to register at the municipality of Wageningen.: https://www.wageningen.nl/english/Registration_for_new_residents_BRP

 

• For EU tenants:
  According to our information, ‘Bunq’ is the only bank that facilitates a Dutch bank account in advance of your arrival in The Netherlands. They don’t require a Burgerservicenummer (BSN) at the moment you apply for a bank account. They only need your BSN within 90 days after your application. So you could already open a Dutch bank account in advance of your arrival in The Netherlands. https://www.bunq.com/nl/expats .

 

You can also open a Dutch bank account as soon as you arrive in The Netherlands.

 

• For non-EU students:
  According to our information it is not possible to open a Dutch bank account in advance of your arrival in The Netherlands, but you are required to do so as soon as you arrive. However, you can open a Dutch bank account as soon as you arrive in The Netherlands
