Cultural Tip
In German business contexts it is common to use the formal ‘Sie’ when speaking to bank staff, e.g., ‘Wo finden Sie die Bedingungen…?’ The phrase above uses the informal ‘ich’, which is fine when you are speaking to a chatbot or reading on a website. Also, German banks often place the conditions under a ‘Konditionen’ or ‘AGB’ (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen) section.
