This is an important strategic step as the firm continues to expand its global presence.
“Our teams are the key to our success. Opening a new location in Barcelona will help us to continue our growth as a world-class global technology employer by reaching more talent and offering more international opportunities for a highly diverse workforce,” comments Valentin Stalf, CEO of N26.
Barcelona has become one of Europe’s biggest technology hubs with a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem. Besides the ecosystem, Barcelona’s high quality of living and the fact that Spain is one of N26’s core markets were decisive in choosing the office location. N26 had already established a team dedicated to the Spanish market in January this year and is now deepening its footprint in the market even further.
As N26 builds a bank people love to use, 2018 has been a year of success for The Mobile Bank so far. In March, N26 closed a $160m Series C funding round, and just last week, N26 surpassed the milestone of processing €1 billion in monthly transactions with over 1 million customers.
