I've heard about Bunq, Klarna, Revolut, and N26, but I'm not sure which one would be best for my needs. Has anyone had experience with these services in Germany? Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance!

I only heard bad things from Klarna. The worst story is from a buddy of mine who used the service once, paid everything and now semi regularly keeps getting threats about debt collection for things he didn't even look at.

Idk about you but for me personally this is enough to make me not want to try them. Especially since I'm missing positive or even neutral reviews.

It's a shame that the Buy European movement isn't always able to account for European companies that are shitty.

Maybe the movement will be a chance for new good European companies to rise at least. It definitely should make it a bit easier for (new) companies to advertise their products vs "big US", as previously you often needed a bit more than just "this service is European" to get people to switch.

By now I'm noticing some people being willing to change even if a few features are missing/not yet implemented when before that was a dealbreaker to them, no matter whether they actually used said features or not.
