ExpatsMate
For expats living & working in Germany

Money and insurance in Germany, explained in plain English.

Moving to a new country means a new financial system, a new insurance landscape, and a lot of forms in a language you may still be learning. We help you make sense of it — independent, personal, no jargon.

What we help with

Straightforward advice on the topics that matter most

We focus on the areas where expats most often lose money or protection simply because nobody explained the system to them.

Core topic

Retirement & pension provision

How the German pension system works, what you pay into automatically, and how to build additional provision that actually fits an internationally mobile life.

Core topic

Personal insurance

Household contents, personal liability, and other everyday personal insurance — what's genuinely useful in Germany and what's optional.

Core topic

Business insurance for the self-employed

Standard commercial cover for freelancers and small business owners — the essentials, explained simply, without the sales pitch.

Private and professional legal protection insurance, arranged through our partners for the areas outside our own core coverage.

Who you're talking to

Personal advice, not a call centre

My name is Tim, and I've spent years advising clients on pensions and insurance in Germany. I work with a small team of advisors — including English, Russian, Mandarin and Greek speakers — so you can talk about your finances in a language you're actually comfortable in.

Every call is free, unhurried, and focused on your actual situation — not a product pitch.
