Is saving directly at the bank better than via a platform?
Not necessarily: the deposit guarantee is the same. Direct is convenient if you are already a customer; a platform is handy if you want to save at several banks with one account.
Do I need a current account at that bank?
Sometimes. Each offer states whether a current account is required; the filter 'No current account required' shows only accounts without that requirement.
How do I open an account at a foreign bank?
Usually online, with an identity document and a counter account in the Netherlands. The steps are on the bank's website.
Saving directly at the bank
Offers you open directly at the bank without an intermediary. You then have one point of contact and the bank arranges everything itself.

A few European countries withhold tax on the interest you receive there. Per country: what is withheld, which form lowers it, and when the higher rate is still worth it.
Banks attract new customers with a high rate that drops back after a few months. A worked example shows when such a promotion really earns you more, and when a lower steady rate wins.
The highest savings rates often come from banks in Sweden, Estonia or Malta. What the European deposit guarantee covers, who pays out if things go wrong, and what you need to watch yourself.
