Fintiba is a Frankfurt-based provider specialising in blocked accounts (Sperrkonten) for international students and other visa applicants arriving in Germany. A blocked account is a legal requirement for most non-European Union nationals applying for a long-term German visa — it proves you can financially support yourself during your stay. Fintiba handles the entire process online, in English, and their accounts are accepted by all German embassies worldwide.
Beyond the blocked account itself, Fintiba offers a combined package (Fintiba Plus) that pairs the blocked account with visa-compliant health insurance — covering both requirements from one provider and one application. Over 300,000 international students have used Fintiba to support their visa applications.
