Berlin - Ahead of World Savings Day, N26 has released new insights on how technology is helping people save money effectively and effortlessly. Less than a year after The Mobile Bank introduced Round-Ups, N26 customers have seamlessly set aside more than €12 million with the automated savings feature.Launched in November 2020, the Round-Ups feature was designed to complement Spaces, N26’s iconic sub-accounts, making saving easier than ever before. When enabled, each payment is automatically rounded up to the nearest Euro and the spare change transferred to a designated Space. Available to N26 customers with a premium subscription, the automatic savings feature aims to empower regular savings behavior, helping customers grow their savings without having to make a constant and concerted effort to set money aside.Since the feature was launched, over 12 million Round-Ups transactions have been automatically triggered, a testament of how effective automation is in helping customers build their wealth with minimal effort.Broadening N26’s range of automated savings features is the newly released Income Sorter, a tool that automatically sets aside a percentage of all incoming bank transfers to a preferred Space. With this feature, customers save whenever they get paid or receive their salary, further simplifying the way they save and manage their finances. Income Sorter builds on N26 Round-Ups to provide customers with yet another way to work towards their financial goals with minimal effort.
