An account for everyone
Today, having an account is not automatic. There are many people who do not have one, but urgently need one. We know how important an account is for daily life. Whether in the workplace or at home: You need an account everywhere.
With its basic account, Bank Austria offers an account with a full range of services – but without an overdraft option. This allows the processing of day-to-day payment transactions. It is available to anyone who does not have an account in Austria which offers him/her the services of a payment account with basic features and who is legally resident in the EEA, i.e. the European Economic Area.
The basic account is an important contribution by Bank Austria to what is called “Financial Inclusion”. This means that no one is excluded from economic life.
This account, in fact, is concerned with exactly that: Providing assistance to allow people to participate in economic life, even people who have been or still are in economic difficulties.
