Compare N26 bank accounts

You can open a N26 account if you’re at least 18 years old, living in one of these countries, and own a compatible smartphone. To start the sign-up, simply create an account in the N26 app or on the N26 website and confirm your email address. You can then introduce yourself with your ID directly in the app and then pair your smartphone with your account.

The standard N26 bank account is free and doesn’t charge any opening or maintenance fees. The N26 Smart bank account costs €4.90 per month, the N26 You bank account costs €9.90 per month and the N26 Metal account is available for €16.90 per month, with a 12-month commitment period. To open an N26 account, no deposit or minimum income is required.

Anyone 18 or over residing in one of our 25 markets can open a bank account. N26 accounts are a great option for your first bank account, offering intuitive mobile features designed to help you save and spend with confidence.

Once you have successfully completed the N26 account sign-up process, which typically takes less than 8 minutes, you will immediately have access to your virtual N26 debit Mastercard on your smartphone. Link this to Google Pay or Apple Pay to start spending immediately. If you ordered a physical card or your account includes one automatically, this will typically arrive via post in 5 to 7 business days.

No. With N26, you can only have one active account in your name. Currently, it’s not possible to have two N26 accounts under the same name. This means that you can’t have a private N26 bank account and an N26 business account at the same time.

Of course! As long as your employer accepts accounts with a German IBAN, you'll be able to have your salary deposited directly into your N26 account.
