Since the topic came up before, I'll mention that I've learned that Berliner Volksbank does automatically pay credit card accounts from a Girokonto. Volksbank is a co-op, which was recommended to me by two new German friends on separate occasions. They have relatively few ATM machines, but their customer support is truly helpful. A disadvantage is that they have no affiliates in the US, so I am unable to link Volksbank with some of my overseas accounts.
Hope this helps,

Re: autopayment of bank credit card
I thought I would never need a credit card until I found out that it has some advantages.
Like if I want to hire a car in the UK, if I pay with a debit card I have to pay more with some providers. But credit cards give me the lowest prices.
So I now have a santandare credit card, in Germany that auto pays off the credit balance every month, ie zero work and means I never pay interest on a balance. I can get the credit card paid off from a differant bank.
The santandare credit card is free to have., but there are not many benifits with it. It's better to buy a few things on it a year, just so it's not cancelled.
I think I can withdraw money from any Atm, without extra charge, but maybe a currancey exchange rate
