1 N26 Instant Savings account interest rates are based on your main N26 plan: from 11/06/2025 onwards, 0.30% p.a. for Standard and Smart, 0.50% p.a. for N26 Go, and 1.50% p.a. for Metal (before taxes). Please note that rates per plan can be changed by N26 over time.

2 The variable annual return rate shown (2.61%) is presented net of fees and reflects information provided by the fund manager, Fidelity International, as of 11/06/2026. This rate is subject to change on a daily basis based on market conditions. All investments carry a risk of capital loss. A flexible cash fund is not a guaranteed investment, and a total loss of your investment is possible at any time. The risk of loss of principal is borne entirely by the investor. Investing in a flexible cash fund differs from an investment in deposits. The capital invested may fluctuate. The flexible cash fund does not rely on external support to guarantee its liquidity or to stabilize its net asset value per share.

Before investing, please assess your financial situation carefully and consider seeking independent advice, review as well the Key Information Document (KID) and our full Terms & Conditions.
