How do Spaces sub-accounts work, and what can I use them for?
N26 Spaces are sub-accounts that sit alongside your main account, and are a practical way to organize your business finances. As a premium customer, create up to 10 Spaces sub-accounts with IBANs in your N26 app, then easily set money aside for your taxes, future projects, savings goals, and more. Each space can have its own unique IBAN, which you can use to pay your business expenses via direct debit, or to get paid via SEPA transfers directly into a sub-account. Of course, you don’t have to add an IBAN to your space if you don’t need one—the choice is yours.
Working with a team? Simply open a Shared Space, and manage your business funds together with up to 10 other N26 customers. Please note that an IBAN can’t be added to a Shared Space for now—but stay tuned for more exciting updates to come! Learn more about N26 Spaces and all its features here
