What are stocks and ETFs?
Stocks represent ownership in a company. When you buy a stock, you're buying a piece of that company. You can earn some of the company's profits through dividends, or when the price of the stock goes up. ETFs, or ‘Exchange Traded Funds’, are a type of index fund made up of various assets — such as stocks or bonds.

Stocks and ETFs are a basket of securities, and are traded on the stock market just like individual stocks. This means that prices fluctuate all the time, and N26 has no influence on the wins or losses in your portfolio. Diversification can reduce risks by spreading out investments across different financial assets rather than concentrating it all in one asset. Your deposits at N26 are protected up to €100,000 by the German Deposit Protection Scheme.
Every investment strategy is different, so there’s no governing principle on how to choose the right stock or ETF. In the N26 app, you’ll find detailed information on each stock and ETF we have on offer. Plus, our blog features helpful articles on investing in stocks and ETFs.
What you pay for an ETF is known as the “market price” — which is determined based on how many people want to buy or sell that ETF at a given time. The market price should be closely aligned with an ETF’s net asset value (NAV). This figure is calculated daily by adding up all the ETF’s assets and cash holdings, subtracting any liabilities, and then dividing by the number of outstanding shares. This may sound confusing, but the point of NAV is to serve as a reference point for people interested in purchasing shares of the ETF, ensuring that they’re paying a fair price.
To get more granular, investors may also reference the ETF’s intraday net asset value iNAV, which is measured throughout the day to keep up with price fluctuations. This figure is a more accurate measure to compare with the market value of the ETF you’re looking to buy, but it may not directly reflect the price you actually pay, as that figure may rise or fall depending on how high or low demand is.
A share price is the price of a single share of a number of saleable equity shares of a company. In simple terms, the stock price is the highest amount someone's willing to pay for the stock, or the lowest amount that it can be bought for.
For every trade — meaning every purchase or sale — of a stock or ETF with N26, you’ll pay a fee of €0.90, as well as the specific ETF management fee, if applicable. N26 Metal customers get 15 free trades every month. N26 You customers get 5 free monthly trades.
If you’re a German resident, you’ll pay tax on the income you earn when investing in stocks and ETFs. This includes a flat tax rate of 25% plus a 5.5% solidarity surcharge, or 26.375% in total, along with 8 or 9% church tax, if applicable and depending on your federal state.
You may also need to pay a preliminary tax, or ‘Vorabpauschale’, on potential gains generated by certain accumulating funds like ETFs.
