Question 1

How do I open a free bank account at N26?

Accepted Answer

It’s simple—first make sure that you meet the [requirements to open an account](https://support.n26.com/en-de/account-and-personal-details/opening-an-account/how-to-open-my-n26-account). You have to be over the age of 18, live in one of the eligible countries, and not have a different N26 account already. Of course, you should also have a compatible smartphone.
Apart from that, you just need an ID and a few spare minutes. Download the N26 app to open your free bank account, or use the N26 WebApp. As soon as you’ve opened your account, you’ll receive your virtual Mastercard and you’ll be up and running!

N26 is a German bank and you’ll get a German IBAN, a virtual Mastercard, and benefit from other smart money management features. Open your account directly on your smartphone in just a few minutes.

Question 3
