It takes just a few minutes and you can do it in the N26 app.

    N26 joint accounts can have a maximum of two account holders.

    Yes. First you need to open a personal account and then you will be able to open a joint account.

    Once your N26 joint account is open, you can connect the card linked to your existing N26 personal account to your joint account instead. Alternatively you can connect a virtual card, or buy an additional card that is dedicated to your joint account for €10. Please remember that N26 cards are always issued per person, so it isn’t possible to have a card with both joint account holders' names on it.

    First you need to open a personal N26 account. Then you can be invited to be a joint account holder, or open a joint account yourself.

    If you already have a personal account with N26, head to the ‘Finances’ tab of your N26 app. Then add a joint account and choose the contact you want to share your joint account with. Once they accept your invitation and you both accept the terms and conditions, your joint account will be open. You’ll then each be able to transfer money in and out of the joint account.

    Each account holder has 100% liability and equally shared ownership of the activity in the joint account.

    Both account holders are named on the joint account.

    The N26 joint account is a free feature available to all N26 customers, regardless of membership type.

Each Shared Space can have up to 10 participants, but only the persona who opened the Space is the legal owner of the funds within it. Joint accounts are available to all N26 customers, regardless of membership. They have a dedicated IBAN, and you can link a virtual or physical card to your joint account to make direct payments.
