N26 — Simply Secure
At N26, security is a priority. Which is why, no matter which account you have, it’s always protected by innovative security measures and features.
N26 has been granted a full German banking license from BaFin. By law, each customer’s funds are protected up to €100,000 by the German Deposit Protection Scheme. With 3D Secure, Mastercard Identity Check, and fingerprint and face recognition, the security of our customer's online payments is always guaranteed.
At N26, we take many steps to keep you safe while you bank online. To ensure your online banking security, your bank account comes with additional security measures such as 3D Secure and 2-Factor-Authentication to protect your transactions, alongside many in-app features for your peace of mind. Your funds also covered up to €100,000 by the German Deposit Protection Scheme.
Alongside your bank account’s advanced security features, you can take further steps to increase your online banking security. Never write down your passwords or PIN, only log into your account from a device you trust, and only via a secure WiFi connection. Additionally, to protect yourself from online fraud, avoid clicking on links in emails or text messages that seem suspicious.
