The market for crypto assets constitutes a high risk. A complete loss of capital is possible at any time.
N26 Crypto is powered by Bitpanda Asset Management GmbH.
***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, regular fees apply: 1.5% on Bitcoin and 2.5% on other coins. Fees are always rounded up to the nearest full cent — up to a maximum of one cent — which may lead to a slight increase of the fee percentage shown in the order preview. The fees and cryptocurrency prices shown on the N26 app for every transaction and including a possible spread are not determined by N26, but provided by Bitpanda Asset Management GmbH. N26's liability is expressly excluded for any claim or damage arising from the formation of the prices of the assets offered by Bitpanda.

The card you receive with your N26 Metal premium bank account is a debit Mastercard.

You can pay online, in stores, and in apps with your N26 debit card, as well as withdraw cash from ATMs. Forgot your card at home? Simply add your N26 card to Apple Pay or Google Pay and pay with your phone in seconds — that way, you’re always prepared.
Your N26 Metal card comes in one of three distinct metallic shades: Charcoal Black, Quartz Rose, and Slate Grey.

If you opened your account in Germany, your N26 Metal Mastercard debit includes 8 fee-free ATM withdrawals per month within Germany. After that, you’ll be charged €2 for every additional withdrawal. You can see in the app how many free withdrawals you have left.
Elsewhere in the Eurozone, and just like with all foreign currency payments, all ATM withdrawals are free and unlimited with N26 Metal.

N26 Spaces are sub-accounts that sit alongside your main account, giving you an easy way to manage your finances. As a premium customer, create up to 10 Spaces sub-accounts with IBANs in an instant, and effortlessly put money aside for your savings goals, upcoming expenses, or even an emergency fund. Of course, how you use your spaces is up to you — it’s not necessary to add an IBAN to each space if you don’t need one.
