Question 1

Can I have both a regular N26 bank account and an N26 Business bank account at the same time?

Accepted Answer

No. It currently isn’t possible to have two N26 bank accounts with the same name. If you have a personal N26 account and want to open an N26 Business bank account, you will first need to close your personal N26 bank account. You may then sign up for an N26 Business Smart bank account.

Question 2

How do I open an N26 Business bank account?

Accepted Answer

To open your N26 Business account, you must meet our [eligibility criteria](https://support.n26.com/en-de/memberships-and-account-types#business-accounts). If you do, you can open your account in just a few minutes using your smartphone or the N26 WebApp on desktop. Opening your bank account doesn’t require any paperwork. You can start using your account right away once we have verified your identity.

You can find more information on how to open an N26 Business account at our [Support Center](https://support.n26.com/en-de/getting-started/account/how-to-open-my-n26-account).

Question 3

Do I have to open my business bank account with my own name?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you must use your first and last name in order to open an N26 Business  bank account. The N26 Business bank account was designed for freelancers and the self-employed who offer their services in their own name—that means the name of your business will not be shown in your bank account or on your Mastercard.
