All investments carry a risk of capital loss. A flexible cash fund is not a guaranteed investment, and a total loss of your investment is possible at any time. The risk of loss of principal is borne entirely by the investor. Investing in a flexible cash fund differs from an investment in deposits. The capital invested may fluctuate. The flexible cash fund does not rely on external support to guarantee its liquidity or to stabilize its net asset value per share.

Before investing, please assess your financial situation carefully and consider seeking independent advice, review as well the Key Information Document (KID) and our full Terms & Conditions. The statements on this landing page do not constitute financial advice. The values depicted are fictional and for illustrative purposes only.

A flexible cash fund is a regulated investment product managed by Fidelity. The fund carries a low risk rating of 1 out of 7 and has a suggested minimum holding period of six months. As with all money market funds and other investments, there are inherent risks, including market, liquidity, and volatility risks. When you withdraw from a flexible cash fund, you instruct us to sell your shares in the underlying money market fund. The proceeds from this sale may take up to 2 business days to reach your account. T&Cs apply.

5 A flexible cash fund is not a deposit, it is an investment that carries a risk of capital loss. The variable rate shown reflects information provided by the fund manager as of 22/10/2026, and is subject to daily changes. Your investment can go up and down. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Starting January 1, 2027, service fees , calculated on the invested amount, will apply based on your N26 plan: 0% for N26 Metal and Aura, 0.20% for Go, 0.25% for Smart, and 0.30% for Standard plans.
