About Us
We’re building the world’s first digital bank
At N26, we believe that your bank should be as mobile and flexible as you. That’s why we’re offering a 100% digital banking experience that’s designed to be simple and transparent. Centered around you, it’s an app that feels good to use—integrating the most innovative technology to make life easier, and enabling you to live and bank your way.
A bank for the 21st century
Technology streamlines your life. It’s given us the power to offer our customers more choice, better protect their money, and make banking simple and fast. We believe that managing your finances doesn’t need to be complex. This is modern banking, created for our century.
A bank as mobile as you
Banking in your pocket, wherever you are. Want to lock, or re-order your card? All it takes is a tap in the app. Need customer support? Get help using our live chat. Keen for an overdraft? No problem—simply apply within the app in seconds. No paperwork, no hidden fees and full transparency.
A bank with a global vision
Our founders Max and Valentin started N26 in 2013 to set new standards in an industry that’s remained institutional and dysfunctional for many. Their vision was to transform the way you manage your money with the latest technology and the best minds from around the globe, in order to change banking for the better.
Since, we’ve grown to a team of over 1,500 people across 80 nationalities, with offices in Berlin, Barcelona, Vienna, New York and São Paolo.
