Arriving in a new country is exciting, but the admin can pile up fast: registering an address, arranging insurance, setting up payments. This partnership means your banking is sorted before you’ve even booked your flight, so you can focus on the things that actually matter, like getting excited for your new chapter.
As part of your Xior contract, you’re required to have insurance to protect your belongings and cover unexpected incidents. ABN AMRO also offers insurance options that meet these requirements, so you can arrange everything, bank account and insurance in one go.
This partnership reflects what we believe housing should be: not just four walls, but genuine support for the life that happens inside them. By teaming up with ABN AMRO, we’re making sure your move to the Netherlands starts smoothly before you even land.
Do I need a BSN to open the account? No — you can open your ABN AMRO Student Account before arrival without a BSN. You’ll just need to provide it within 3 months of arriving in the Netherlands.
You receive €75 simply for opening your account, and it helps you avoid international transfer fees from day one.
