When and how is my interest paid?

The interest you earn is automatically calculated and paid out to your Instant Savings account on the first day of each month.

How is my interest calculated?

Your interest is calculated daily at a rate of 2.26% AER (2.26% annual NIR), based on your Instant Savings account balance at the end of the day.

For example, if you maintain a daily balance of €15,000 in your Instant Savings account for a period of 12 months, you’ll earn a total gross interest of €339. Similarly, if there are 30 days in a month and your Instant Savings account balance remains €15,000 for the whole month, you’ll earn a total gross interest of €27.86 (€15,000 x 2.26% x 30/365) at the end of the month.

Is there a limit on the amount of interest I can earn with N26 Instant Savings?

You may deposit as much money as you like into your savings account: you’ll earn interest on the total balance of your Instant Savings account.

What happens if I make a withdrawal before the end of the month?

N26 Instant Savings is a fully flexible easy-access savings account, so there are no penalties for withdrawing a part — or all — of your deposit before the end of the month. You won’t lose any interest that was already paid out, nor will you lose any interest that’s already been calculated for the previous days of the current month.

Your interest is calculated every day according to the current balance of your Instant Savings account — so once you make a withdrawal, you will simply earn less interest than before, because your savings account balance will be lower.

Does N26 Instant Savings have a deposit limit?

No, there are no minimum or maximum deposit limits for N26 Instant Savings. You can deposit as much money as you like into your easy-access savings account, and you’ll earn interest on the total balance of your Instant Savings account.

Will I need to pay taxes on my earned interest?

Yes, the interest you earn in your N26 Instant Savings account is taxable by the Spanish government. But no stress — we’ll automatically withhold and transfer this tax percentage to the authorities on your behalf every month, when you receive your earned interest.
