The ten steps group into five simple phases — from planning to building your life in Germany.

Transfer the required amount to your restricted blocked account using clear instructions, and receive an official, verifiable confirmation once your funds have settled with the regulated partner.

Built for peace of mind

Designed to feel effortless

The details that make the process trustworthy from the first click to your first month in Germany.

Transparent at every step

Required funds, fees, the amount received, your settled balance and each monthly release are shown clearly and separately, so a number never leaves you guessing.

Secure by design

Identity and document verification follow KYC and AML requirements, and your funds are held by a regulated partner — never mixed with our operating money.

Everything in one place

One profile, one document centre and one journey connect your blocked account, insurance, admission, scholarships and career instead of ten disconnected services.
