Mike Dargan, Chief Executive Officer of N26, said: “Surpassing half a billion euros in annual revenue for 2025 is a landmark milestone for N26, demonstrating the growing trust millions of Europeans place in us every day.

This financial strength gives us the flexibility to reinvest heavily in product innovation, bringing even more value to our customers across Europe.”

Net fee and commission income increased 21% year-on-year to €184.2 million,accounting for 53% of gross profit, driven by growth in subscriptions and card transaction volumes. Subscription performance benefited from strategic enhancements to N26’s premium membership offering. Net interest income, which includes treasury and lending activities, rose 49% to €166.3 million and contributed the remaining 47% of gross profit, underpinned by a growing deposit and lending portfolio.

Editorial Notes The financial metrics presented in this press release follow N26's management reporting framework, which is aligned with IFRS principles. This framework provides a consistent view of operating performance, supports comparability with international peers and prior-year disclosures, and aligns with the methodology used by management to assess business performance. As a regulated bank, N26 prepares its audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with the German Regulation on Accounting for Credit Institutions and Financial Services Institutions (RechKredV). As a result, certain metrics, in particular net interest income and net fee and commission income, may differ from the corresponding figures reported in the audited financial statements. These differences primarily relate to the classification and presentation of revenues and expenses. Group net income is identical under both frameworks. In the management reporting framework used in this press release, net fee and commission income and net interest income are allocated according to the underlying business activities in order to reflect the gross profit generated by N26's key business lines. Net interest income includes related net credit loss provisions and write-offs. For the financial year 2025, the corresponding figures reported under RechKredV were €191.3 million of net interest income (including current income from stocks and other non-fixed-income securities), €176.9 million of net fee and commission income, and €498.1 million of gross revenue, consisting of interest and fee and commission income as well as current income from securities. N26 will publish its audited financial statements in accordance with the applicable statutory filing deadlines and make them available through the relevant official registers.
