Contexte culturel
You almost always need a BSN (Burgerservicenummer) to open a bank account. This is your unique citizen service number. The Dutch use 'Tikkie' for everything. To use it, you need a Dutch bank account to link to the app. In Belgium, physical bank branches are still quite common, and people often make an appointment to open an account. Digital banks like Bunq allow you to open an account using just your phone and a video call for ID verification.
Use the App
Most Dutch banks allow you to open an account via their app, which is much faster than visiting a branch.
BSN First
Don't try to open an account before you have your BSN; 99% of banks will reject you immediately.
