We often find ourselves looking for ways to manage money and share costs with the people in our life. Whether you’re splitting household bills with roommates, sharing everyday expenses with a partner, or saving for a group vacation with friends—there are plenty of situations where saving together just makes sense.However, opening and managing a traditional joint account—and all the bureaucracy that goes with it—can be complex and challenging. That's why we’re launching a simple, secure, and 100% digital alternative that offers you the flexibility you need.Introducing, Shared Spaces—the evolution of Spaces that lets you share sub-accounts with other N26 customers to manage money together. All in just a few taps from your smartphone.Shared Spaces was launched in 2019 for N26 accounts with a German IBAN, and is finally available for N26 accounts with an Italian IBAN. Read on to find out how you can start using this feature.
How does Shared Spaces work?
Shared Spaces is the perfect tool to share costs or manage expenses without the need to open a joint account. And the best part is, you can share up to 10 Spaces sub-accounts with any other N26 user, whatever your relationship—family, friends, colleagues, roommates. It’s all up to you.When you create a shared space, you’ll become its owner and can then invite or remove other N26 customers at any time. All Shared Spaces participants will be able to monitor transactions in real time and transfer money in and out of the space as they wish. So we recommend only using this feature with people you know and trust.
