You open a Dutch bank account once you have a BSN and proof of identity and address, which you need to pay your deposit, receive your mortgage and set up direct debits (automatische incasso). Some banks offer newcomer or English-language accounts, which are easier shortly after arrival. An account with an IBAN is essential for most housing and utility payments.
