Frequently asked questions

    We recommend that freelancers and self-employed individuals open a business account. This is a great way to separate your commercial finances from your personal finances, which, in turn, simplifies tax issues. The free business bank account from N26 is a flexible business account that you can set up in under 8 minutes and can manage 100% from your smartphone.

    N26 Business is free to open online with no account management fees. It’s the easiest business bank account to open if you’re a freelancer or self-employed.

    You get 0.1% cashback for all the payments you make with your N26 Mastercard. Also, you’ve always got a complete overview over your balance thanks to both real-time push notifications and the Statistics feature. With your virtual N26 Mastercard, shop online, in apps, and in stores. Make ATM withdrawals in euros up to 3 times per month, free of charge. Your Business Standard account supports incoming SEPA instant credit transfers. Plus, use MoneyBeam to send and receive money from other N26 customers instantly.

    It’s easy! First, make sure that you meet the requirements. Then download the N26 mobile app or open the N26 WebApp on your computer to initiate the registration process. We’ll have to verify your identity so please have a valid ID on hand. The whole process only takes a few minutes!

    • You will use the account primarily for business purposes.
    • You’re not already an N26 user.
    • You reside in a country where N26 operates: Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland

    You can only open the free business bank account under your own name, not under your company name.

    The free business bank account is primarily intended for commercial finances so it’s a good idea to mainly use it for that purpose. You can use it for personal expenses on occasion, but these shouldn’t be the majority of your transactions.

    No. You can only ever have one bank account with N26 at a time. So, if you already have a private account with us and would prefer to have a free business bank account, then you’d first have to close your private account. After that, you can open your free business bank account in a matter of minutes.
