    N26 joint accounts can have a maximum of two account holders.

    Yes. First you need to open a personal account and then you will be able to open a joint account.

    Once your N26 joint account is open, you can connect the card linked to your existing N26 personal account to your joint account instead. Alternatively you can connect a virtual card, or buy an additional card that is dedicated to your joint account for €10. Please remember that N26 cards are always issued per person, so it isn’t possible to have a card with both joint account holders' names on it.

    First you need to open a personal N26 account. Then you can be invited to be a joint account holder, or open a joint account yourself.

Once they accept your invitation and you both accept the terms and conditions, your joint account will be open. You’ll then each be able to transfer money in and out of the joint account.
