It was mentioned multiple times by their employees. Just for example: https://twitter.com/DKB_RegTech/status/1145992072849174530
I would go with DKB if they take you, else comdirect is definitely a good alternative.
Comdirect, you habe e.g. same functionalities at Commerzbank ATMs as Commerbank Customers incl. in-payment of coins.
Really depends on what you want. DKB has no foreign fees.
Comdirect has ATM usage at Commerzbank also for adding cash.
But why not take both and make one your main?

These banks are slow as hell in that area. LBB also told me they have no Plans at the Moment on ApplePay. And they Host the Amazon Visa, which would Be great to have. One of the Reasons i keep boon, to Collect amazon points through boon.
And cashback from boon gives me enough Money for paying the fee.

When you are outside of Europe, have you had any issues with fees using the DKB card? (either paying or withdrawing cash?) DKB itself says they dont pay any fees the foreign institutions/companies may charge.
And does Apple Pay work flawlessly all over the world with DKB Visa too?

Used the card in the US a lot on my last trip. No charges at all.
ATM in the USA a different financed. The owner charges for withdrawal not the bank. So yes you might have fees when withdrawing and the owner takes a fee
DKB is not charging a fee.
With ApplePay. I only had the chAnce in France and it worked where wireless was accepted. France is a little bit different as they really had some old infrastructure without „sans contact“ as they use credit and chipcard already for a looooong time. So for me it seems like they have not yet started to change them all.
In Germany some stores just started now to accept credit, so most of the infrastructure accepts wireless.
So to summarize. ApplePay works.
Although I still use Boon often to
Redirect the costs to the amazon card and get Cashback.

Yes i did. But there are two Things that keep me from replacing:
1. Auto Topup Can not Be activated and Support can not help with it.
2. LBB is canceling accounts that do top much Revolut topups
Revolut is on the List of the Bad Banks that some german Banks recently came up with. Reason is that they don't Check at all you Personal Data.

I had a similar issue a while ago. The option will get available after some time you did manual topups.
