Settle in Germany: Your Expat Guide to Smart Banking and Connectivity

Our Story

This is the story of an expat and a local.
One arrived from Brazil in Germany with the excitement of a new adventure but also the weight of uncertainty. Even though he had lived in different countries before, he found myself facing the same challenges that most expats do: Understanding banking systems, selecting internet plans, and choosing the right mobile provider. But it was more than just the practical details; it was the feeling of being an outsider in a place that felt so unfamiliar. He quickly realized how essential it is to access reliable information—preferably in a language you understand—when trying to make these everyday decisions.

The other one is deeply familiar with how things work here. He knows firsthand how easy it is to overlook how confusing these processes can be for someone who did not grow up here. Having spent time abroad, he has experienced the challenges of adapting to a new country and can empathize with the hurdles that expats face in making informed decisions.

That is when they realized by combining their unique experiences, they could create something truly valuable for expats. They could provide a platform that not only explains the systems in Germany but also empowers expats to make smart decisions—just like locals do.

At Settle in Germany, our mission is simple: we aim to provide clear, reliable, and practical guides on banking, internet, and mobile services tailored specifically for expats. We break down complex regulations, compare service providers, and explain the rules in straightforward, accessible English—because we know that when you move to a new country, you should not have to be an expert to make the right choices.

With a local’s insight and an expat’s perspective, we are committed to helping you save time, avoid confusion, and make the best decisions for your new life in Germany. We want you to feel at home, financially confident, and connected—no matter where you come from.
