N26 strengthens travel offer in Italy with Travel eSIM mobile plans
Milan, 21 May 2026 – N26 is expanding its travel offering with the launch of a new Travel eSIM – fully digital data roaming plans designed to keep travelers connected in over 100 countries.* N26 Travel eSIM is the digital bank’s first offer for Italian customers in the telecommunications space, allowing N26 account holders to activate a Travel eSIM in just a few taps directly within the N26 App without the need for a physical SIM card or additional app.
Customers can enjoy flexible data plans with best-in-class prices, choosing from different plan sizes tailored to their destination, with highly competitive flat-rate. They can also buy data plans for multiple destinations in advance, which automatically activate as soon as their device connects to the destination’s network to avoid unexpected fees. Regional and global travel eSIM plans are also available for purchase for customers who require flexibility and connectivity for their international travels.
N26 offers one of the most competitive set of features for anyone traveling abroad, combining practical financial tools with valuable travel benefits:
Thanks to modern eSIM technology, N26 SIM mobile plans can be activated quickly, effortlessly, without paperwork, and without the need to visit a local telco store, as long as the customer’s paired mobile device supports eSIM usage.**
N26 Travel eSIM is available to eligible customers with an active N26 personal or Business account, across all membership tiers.
*Travel eSIM Plans include international data only, and do not include SMS, MMS, calling or voicemail. Because of this, a separate number does not come bundled with any purchased travel eSIM plans.
**Travel eSIMs can only be installed and activated on the mobile device paired to the customer’s N26 account, and are not transferrable.
