Bank and invest in one app

1 N26 Instant Savings account interest rates are based on your main N26 plan: From 11/06/2025 onwards, grow your savings with 0.30% gross interest p.a. for Standard and Smart (0.21% net), 0.50% p.a. for N26 Go (0.35% net), and 1.50% p.a. for Metal (1.05% net). Please note that rates per plan can be changed by N26 over time.
The gross interest you earn is automatically calculated and paid into your Instant Savings account on the first day of the following month.
With an N26 Metal account and a €10,000 deposit in an Instant Savings account offering a 1.5% annual gross interest rate ( 1.05% net), if you withdraw your deposit after 6 months (183 days), you will earn €10,000 * 1.5% / 365 * 183 = €75,2 in gross interest (€52,64 net interest).
Interest is only earned on funds held in your Instant Savings account. Please note that N26 may change interest rates at any time based on market fluctuation. If this happens, we’ll send you a notification via your N26 secure inbox, after which the new rate will take effect immediately.
