Upgrade to N26 Metal
*The N26 Metal crypto fee discounts only apply to trading amounts up to €5,000 (including fees on purchasing and excluding fees on selling crypto) per calendar month. Above this amount, standard fees apply: 1.5% on Bitcoin and 2.5% on all other coins (fees are always rounded up to the nearest full cent—to a maximum of one cent — which may lead to a slight increase of the fee percentage shown in the order preview. Deviations for special coins are possible).
