How does N26 Overdraft work?

Overdraft is the ability to overdraw your account, provided by N26. We know that sometimes the month drags on and you can fall into the red. That’s why we’re offering you the option to activate overdraft whenever you need that extra financial flexibility. Of course, we’ll only charge interest if you actually make use of your overdraft.
