\r\n\tA bank teller at Bank Sparkasse, one of the largest banks in Germany, refused to open an account for an Israeli living in Berlin, reminding him that Israeli passport holders are under embargo.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe Israeli went to the bank's branch in the Alexanderplatz area of Berlin, and when he gave the teller his Israeli passport in order to open the bank account, the teller took the passport and went into another room to check it.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tShe returned a few minutes later and said "I'm very sorry, but we cannot open up a bank account for you here. We aren't allowed to open accounts for citizens of countries under embargo."<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tYnet however says the bank management has told the daily that there was an error and that the bank had apologized.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2016-03-09 14:03:12","content_date_finish":"2016-03-09 14:03:12","content_date_register":"2016-03-09 14:03:12","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"126495","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"2401449356","attach_date_register":"2016-03-09 14:03:15","attach_id":"132580","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"640","attach_img_height":"360","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"115","visit_date_last":"2025-05-12 15:42:17","attach_title":"German bank teller refuses service to Israelis","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
