Can anyone recommend (for my son) which bank to use in Austria (Vienna). Need a current account to have wages paid in and debit card etc. Want one that has good record with security as his present one N26 has been subject to fraud 3 times now. The same transaction, amount, place etc. TIA

    I have no direct experience, but the first bank offering current accounts that I recognised the name of was ING. I would suggest he tries them. They are big enough to have proper controls in place. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
