Can‘t open a bank account without a tax number

New-Salmon-Lovebird-3994137974

Hello guys~

I live in Germany and I start a small business (official date: 01.12.2024), The business got already approved end of last month by the city.
Now I am doing the documents for the „steuerliche Erfassung“ for the tax office. One part is that I have to tell them bank details (it should be a business account).
So I wanted to open a business account, but without a tax number I can’t open it. But I need a business account for the tax office to get my tax number.

Is there a roundabout way until I get my tax number or should I go for now to another bank who are accepting the approval of my business and change later to bunq?

Thank you guys~
