Security at N26

  • N26 is a 100% mobile bank. We have a full European banking license, and offer a free bank account, plus premium accounts such as N26 Smart, N26 Go and N26 Metal. For freelancers and the self-employed, we also offer business accounts that help you manage your business finances. All bank accounts are accessed online, allowing you to manage your banking transactions easily and securely via your smartphone—in real-time, and with no annoying paperwork.
  • N26 operates with a full European banking license, which protects deposits up to €100,000, as directed under EU law. With 3D Secure and Mastercard Identity Check, as well as fingerprint and face recognition, your online payments are even better protected. We want to offer you a secure banking experience—today and tomorrow. That’s why we work closely with financial institutions and communicate with authorities on a regular basis.
  • In addition to your N26 bank account’s advanced security features, you can take steps to further increase your security. Never write down your passwords or PIN, only log into your account from a device you trust, and only use your account when you have a secure WiFi connection. Additionally, to protect yourself from online fraud, avoid clicking on links in emails or text messages that seem suspicious. For more information on how to spot fraudulent behavior—and maintain your online banking security—check out our Security Guide.
