Great news! We've made it even easier to create Shared Spaces – simply go to the Spaces tab, tap on "Create space" and then "Sharing money." To receive faster SEPA transfers, you can now also generate QR codes for the sender to scan. They'll instantly see your IBAN, your name and the amount requested. And if you still haven't tried Round-Ups, enable this feature under the Cards tab in a few taps. It's the most effortless way to set aside spare change, and meet your savings goals. Enjoy!
We've expanded our travel insurance package for N26 You and N26 Metal customers who have to travel for necessary reasons – this includes claims for trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and more. You can find further information about what's covered in the N26 Blog. Additionally, you can now create Rules for Spaces. Simply manage your recurring transfers directly in your space by tapping the "Manage" icon. Happy updating!
We’ve fixed some bugs to make your banking experience even smoother. Happy upgrading!
Round-Ups is here! Reach your savings goals faster by rounding up your card purchases to the nearest euro, and stashing the difference in a space. Simply enable the feature in Spaces and set a multiplier to start saving! Thanks to our partner finleap, customers in Germany, Austria and Spain can also now easily make N26 their main account by automatically transferring their standing orders, direct debits and recurring payments from another account. To do this, open your app and go to ‘My Account.’ Enjoy your new update!
Round-Ups is finally here! Premium customers can now save up the spare change whenever you pay by card – we'll automatically round-up to the next euro, and stash the difference away to a space of your choice. Plus, check out your new Cards tab in the app – you'll now easily find all your card settings in one place. Happy updating!

Give it a try and let us know what you think on Twitter @N26. Happy upgrading!
If your app was feeling a bit sluggish in your account overview, it wasn't the time change. It was actually just a bit of bloat we cleaned up so it runs smoother on low memory. Though, we'll still take an extra shot of espresso for the rest of the week to adjust. Happy upgrading!

Release notes? Well, we had some. And they. Were. Great. So great that we printed them out and framed them. Unfortunately, as a bank, all framed documents come with a built-in paper shredder. Which was accidentally triggered when we tried to upload them. Whoops.
Well, despite that we've added 2 new colors for our Metal cards and managed to still fix some bugs. Happy upgrading!

With this update, we have finally removed the last remnant of "headphone jack" code.
Well, actually there wasn't any "headphone jack code." So we just held a candle light vigil to them instead.
Now that we've gotten that off our chest, we can focus on less divisive issues like the dawning of iOS 12. With it, you can now use some of our most powerful personal features like accessing the balance of your Spaces or account balance. All with your voice.
Happy upgrading! And don't forget to tweet us how you're using Siri @N26.
Hello freelancers, Business Black is here! What is it? It's our premium business account for freelancers and the self-employed. Complete with comprehensive trip and device insurance by Allianz, it makes trips more secure and hassle free. It also saves you money while on your trips—with free withdrawals around the world and no foreign currency exchange rate. We’ll be rolling it out over the next couple of days for existing business customers and new signups. Happy upgrading!
And for Apple Watch owners, we have a little treat. With this upgrade, you can now view your spaces and check your progress towards your savings goals right on the device.
We are very proud to introduce Spaces: saving money for your needs made easy, instant, and flexible. With Spaces you can create sub-accounts to save for multiple goals. It’s easy to delete and move money between spaces as often as you want. It all happens in real-time. It’s all designed to make it easier to better organize your money. Enjoy the new feature. You can also read more about it on our blog.

We've been hard at work on our new Metal cards—and updating our app to match. Keep your eyes open for them in the new Upgrade tab. We also smoothed out some geolocation issues with signup, making signup quicker. Happy upgrading!
Just a bit of spring bug cleaning and dusting under the hood. Also, ABBA is back so we added 20% more sunshine to our login screen to celebrate this joyous occasion. Happy upgrading!
Due to German weather delays we're just now declaring, "Spring is here!" And we have a new login screen to match. Hope you enjoy the weather. And that it isn't snowing again by the time you update.
No more slow-mo snow. Alongside some other bug fixes, we've got a faster, smoother login screen. This will come as a saving grace for some of our most active customers, who—though enchanted by the majestic winter scenery—may have needed up to 13 or 15 seconds to login. Hats off to our backend team. Happy upgrading!
1 hotfix coming right up. This one just fixed PDF downloads after sending a transfer. Happy upgrading!
Fixed: Money problems. Specifically requesting money problems. It used to make your app crash. But now we've ironed that out. So bug all your friends.
Tweaked: Floating frames hovering over your pictures during identity verification. We're glade none of you look like see-through IDs!
Yearning for: This glorious weather outside in Berlin to last until Spring. And a new season of Stranger Things. Sigh.
Happy updating!
A new app look,
This update is for sure not.
So here's a haiku.
Almost one month down in 2018. Time moves fast, huh? This is already our third update this month and a big one is coming in a couple weeks. This one is just some fine-tuning. Enjoy the rest of the month, and until soon.

Yellow underwear, 3.9.2, and polka dots.
New year. New update. What does that have to do with yellow underwear and polka dots?
Setting a resolution for the new year can seem pretty daunting. And sometimes counterintuitive. How? Setting insurmountable goals for yourself is a shortcut to self-sabotage. Or putting the horse in front of the carriage. Small, everyday changes amount to big progress. Here are a some small ways we're going to break things up this year.
1. Fix orphan bugs. Bugs live together. Just like in code. Forget one, it multiplies. Tying up unfinished business (taxes, debt, etc.) can free up time. Give yourself some time to do some busywork. It pays for itself. We've fixed a bunch of little bugs in this update. So enjoy the fresh, updated feel.
2. Be more colorful. That's the yellow underwear. It's a New Year tradition in Venezuela. And a quick way to brighten up your day. We've got some new marketing campaigns coming up that use some, ahem, colorful language.
3. Break things up. That's polka dots. In the Philipines, round shapes mean wealth. Round things are marvelous. They let things, thoughts, concerns pass by them and they break up patterns. Do something new. We're rolling out N26 Metal this year. It's a rounded package for your digital needs.
Watch out new year. Here's to oranges (round things), new patterns in life, and a smooth app experience. Did you know 2018 already started with a supermoon? If that's not a good omen, we're not sure what is. See you soon for some big, exciting changes. And please leave a review or rating if you like our notes. It makes us proud.
3.9 is here and with it, we are making a big statement. We’re happy to announce N26 Metal, our new premium card and product for the digital generation. We’ve built a brand new app section to house all its benefits—members will have access to exclusive partner offers from exciting brands with dedicated customer support and personalized content. It’s a home more than just your finances, it also takes you places while maintaining that unique connection to the moment. While N26 Metal will only be available to current N26 Black customers by invite-only from 14 December 2017 until early 2018 , signing up now is an easy way to ensure you'll be one of the first to know when we have a general release.
Finally, we’re launching N26 Credit in France. This is the first partnership of its kind in France—with Younited we’re making it easy for customers to apply for loans of up to €40,000 with real-time pre-approval.
Now that winter is here, we’ll be retreating for a bit back to our hibernation holes to get ready for the New Year. We’d like to wish you a warm, fattening, and jolly holidays. Send us any ugly Christmas sweater pictures to ideas@n26.com. And make sure to leave a review. You can think of it as a stocking stuffer for us.

Just push it. 3.8, that is. We've made some quick fixes under the hood and push notifications are now more reliable than ever. That's great, because we felt sad for the orphan notifications that never had a chance to push. Stay tuned for coming upgrades! And as always, please leave us a review if N26 is the kind of app you'd bring home to dinner with the parents. Please send us your feedback and Animojis at ideas@n26.com
3.7.1 is here, and we've beautified our app to support the iPhone X fully. That's kinda great because now we support FaceID, unleashing the full power of that bezel-less notch. To celebrate our seamless notch integration, we're giving you:
A quick history of notches.
Notches have had many uses throughout mankind's history. From recording your height on door frames as you age to nocks (or notches) on the end of arrows to hold them on the bow's string when drawn.
What might be the most ingenious notching, however, came in the form of tally sticks, which societies from the Paleolithic era, right up to Medieval times, used in place of currency. It was a pretty clever way of accounting—you didn't need to know how to read or scrounge up precious metal for coins. Henry I used them for taxes in medieval England. You'd carve notches onto both sides of a lovely hazlewood stick, break it in half and give the longer stick to the debtor. If you can believe it, this system continued until the 19th century, until slowly being phased out. Hooray! To celebrate the disposal of these odious symbols of century-old debt, they decided to chuck them into a coal-fired stove in the House of Lords and watch them burn baby, burn. But then a raging fire erupted and almost burnt down the entire Palace of Westminster. Old debts die hard, I guess.
So happy banking. Please email any Animojis to ideas@n26.com and leave us a review if you enjoyed our history of notches. It makes us proud and gives us all kinds of good feelings.
Today we are rolling out something you’ve all been requesting for quite some time now. No, it’s not raven delivered account statements. We did the math, they’re just too slow.
Here’s the big news:
We’re very happy to announce that N26 is now available with Apple Pay in France! While that's one big step for us, it's only a few taps for you. With in-app verification, adding your N26 Mastercard to your Apple Pay wallet is a breeze. Just open your Control Center and select My Cards. Tap Add to Apple Wallet and we'll transport your details over automatically.
Stayed tuned, we’ve got some more exciting news for a couple more of our favorite European countries.
Ready to start using? Upgrade and start using Apple Pay in stores, online, and in apps. Enjoy!
3.6 is here and we’ve got a few housewarming gifts for our new home on iOS 11 and a couple of surprises for one of our favorite countries, Austria.
+++Overdraft and Savings+++
Existing Austrian customers now have access to N26 Savings and N26 Overdraft. Hurrah! Both these tools are meticulously N26 (that’s a thing) and allow for powerful customization. Control your Overdraft limit and search for Savings plans in the app. You can get both in just a few minutes. We thought about requiring paperwork, but we got mad at our printer named Todd and remembered why no one likes him or paperwork (at all).
+++ Significantly fewer rockets +++
Rockets can be alarming, so we’ve freshened up onboarding with calming, new, helpful pulse cards. We think messaging is everything, so we’ve converted many alerts into pulse cards with more information. If you forgot to activate your card, for example, we’ll show you where and how to do that.
+++ Leave your treasure map at home +++
The cash map is now much clearer and displays how many free withdrawals you have remaining in the current month. Tap in the upper right corner to check your policy on withdrawals in your home country, in other Eurozone countries, and other countries around the globe.
Thank you so much for your time, and until next time.
Your team at N26
P.S. Please leave us a review or refresh your old one in the AppStore if you think all of the above is awesome. It doesn’t cost anything but it helps others to find us and it makes us proud.
Building a bank the world loves to use: Today we’re updating your app to make your online card payments even more secure and give you more peace of mind with your insurances.
Your security is our top priority at N26 – this is why we're introducing Mastercard SecureCode, an additional security layer for online payments that have a higher risk. Because our risk model evaluates all online payments in the background, you won't see this too often. The procedure is called 3DS, which you might know already under the name Mastercard SecureCode. Mastercard SecureCode makes the authentication process easy because it’s linked to your N26 Mastercard, so there is no additional registration required to use 3DS.
+++ Insurance: More peace of mind +++
Now you can see coverage details of your insurance policies, access the contact details to issue a claim with ease and even set a renewal alarm – get a reminder ahead of time before your insurance policies auto-renew the contract.
As you can see, we’re clearly working on new stuff all the time. You know how to make all of this even better? Send us your ideas for improvements directly in the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas) or send us an email to ideas@n26.com.
Thank you so much for your time, and until next time.

With this important update we improved N26 Invest from the ground up and made it even easier and more transparent to put your money to work. Also, N26 Credit was updated – we partnered up with auxmoney to offer you even more options: You can now apply for a loan, even if you’re a student, freelancer or self-employed.
Are you enjoying the summer?
We are. This is why we felt inspired to change the login screen again, fixed a few things to improve the brand new Insurance experience (Germany only) and made sure everything keeps running smoothly.
Bonus: Blake shared his favourite summer tunes.
* Tabu Ley Rochereau – Hafi Deo
* Orange Tree Edits – Pembe (Jimmy Rouge Edit)
* Womack & Womack – Teardrops
See you soon!
Your N26 Team
Another big step forward! With this update we’re introducing a new way how to display all your existing insurances next to all your other financial services: N26 Insurance BETA is here.
+++ N26 Insurance (only available in Germany) +++
In our ongoing quest to offer all the financial services you need in one app, we’re introducing the BETA release of N26 Insurance. It’s only available in Germany for now, but you BETA believe it’s coming to your country soon. Here’s the idea. We all have those thick binders at home full of paperwork – you get documents in the mail from your insurance provider, you two-hole punch them, and put them in your binder. N26 Insurance digitizes this whole process so you can have a single digital overview of all your insurance providers and policies. You don’t even need to find all your policy numbers and contracts to use it. All you have to do is swipe to the Insurance section of the app after you update, select your insurance categories and providers, and we’ll find your policies. Seal the deal by signing the broker mandate, and enjoy seeing all your policy details in one dashboard. Just one more complicated thing we’re helping make easy and paperless.
+++ Everyone loves improvements +++
First of all, we’ve added new ways for you to refer your friends and invite them to create N26 bank accounts. It’s about time you’re able to MoneyBeam all of your friends. It just makes splitting lunch money so much easier and everyone knows it.
We also received a lot of nice words and plenty of constructive feedback too, so please keep them coming! Leave a review or refresh your old one in the App Store. If you have any big ideas, please send them to us by going to to the app, Settings > Service > Product Ideas, or emailing us directly at ideas@n26.com.
Have a great rest of the week!
Your N26 Team
Small fixes and improvements.
Fixes a problem that push notifications and transaction confirmations might have been not working for some users.
Minor fixes and improvements.
With this update we’re finally introducing one of our most requested features: Savings.
Currently this offer is available in Germany only – launching soon in other european countries.
+++ Send Savings to your future self +++
We all know it – yes, we should save money. But let’s be honest, it’s kind of hard. When we finally made the commitment, cut down our expenses and managed to put money on the side we feel good. But the real challenge starts when we crave something in the short-term and have to be strong. This is why we’ve build Fixed Savings. Now you can safely deposit your money with just a few taps and – quite literally – send it to the future while earning interest. The deposited amount will be locked for a pre-defined period of time to avoid temptations during the next shopping spree.
Best thing of it all: We teamed up with various curated partner banks across Europe to give you the best choice where to deposit the money. Every selected partner bank has a proven track record, offers a wide range of options and they are seamlessly integrated into your app experience. No paperwork, no stress and all deposits are protected by law.
+++ Tell us what you think +++
We’re trying our best to build a bank that the world loves to use. And every day you’re sending us lots of great ideas for improvements. It’s easy to do so: just go to your app, Settings > Service > Product Ideas or send us an email with your suggestions directly to ideas@n26.com. On another note: Please leave a review or refresh your old one if you think N26 makes your life easier and others should know about it. This literally takes less than 26 seconds, costs nothing and makes us very proud!
Your team at N26
Minor fixes.
Fixed small issues.
Spring is here! From where we sit, the sun is shining, the air is warm and we’ve shed our winter coats for good. No big updates from our side for now, except we cleaned up the contact list and improved security and stability during login – especially when you use TouchID.
We’ll be back soon.
With something new for your future self.
Your N26 Team
N26 is more than just a bank account; it’s a platform for you to run your entire financial life from your phone. You should be able to get everything you regularly expect from your bank from us, but in the distinctly N26 way that makes opaque financial services more accessible, and packages them into one beautifully designed experience. Here’s another example of how we’re making this happen.
[ + ] PDF Transfer Confirmations
Here’s a neat new trick to help make your bookkeeping even simpler. You can now get a PDF confirmation for every outgoing transfer by tapping in the right hand corner of the details page of any transfer.
[ + ] Edit Standing Orders
Finally, a small but highly-requested improvement. You can now change the amount of existing standing orders. You asked for it, and now you have it.
[ + ] Ideas & Reviews
If you have any more ideas for improvements, please send them to ideas@n26.com or leave them directly in the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas). If you like what you see, leave a review in the AppStore!
Until next time,
Your N26 Team

Oh we also made some minor improvements and fixed some bugs, as usual.
Until next time.
Your N26 Team

Smaller improvements:

Did you know?
You can now edge swipe in a lot of places to get back to the previous screen.
Welcome again to N26 Bank! This release is responsible for making your banking experience slightly more enjoyable by fixing a few smaller issues.
* * * * *
Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these updates you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Except my Apple Watch issues
And the Today widget
And my transaction list
Hello, can you hear me?
Your N26 app
Finally! With this update we prepared everything to bring you over to the new N26 Bank and send you some brand new cards. You’ll receive an email once you can start the process.
+++ Welcome to N26 Bank +++
Our Head of Mobile isn’t entirely sure how his apartment looks like. Or what daylight is. He was shaking and sweating when he submitted this update and the whole company watched him click the magic button. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards but he was just too exhausted – maybe he is still asleep at his desk. It was a long and and hard journey for all of us, but after months of anticipation, our very own N26 Bank is officially open for business. This is the next great step in our mission to make personal finance everything you know it should be – simple and enjoyable.
+++ Bringing you over to N26 Bank: As easy as everything else +++
Our partnership with our previous partner bank is over, so technically we have to transfer your account from Wirecard Bank to N26 Bank. All the features you like will remain the same, except now we’ll be able to create new financial products for you even faster than before. Download this update and we’ll send you an email as soon as it’s time to transfer your account. In the meantime, everything will work normally so it’s all good. On the surface of your app nothing changed, but we redesigned all our cards and have new options available for you.
[ + ] N26 Black: This brand new premium account comes with a sleek black Mastercard and comprehensive insurance coverage from Allianz Global Assistance Europe, including coverage for trips abroad and mobile phone theft coverage. It’s perfect for travelers and spenders on the go who want that some extra peace of mind.
[ + ] N26 Business: We’ve long recognized that many of you are self-employed or freelancers, so it’s about time we created an account dedicated to your needs. This is a free account that you can switch to if you will use N26 primarily for business purposes, and a new Mastercard that you have to use exclusively for business purposes.
Small side note: Yes, we are excited about the new sleek design of the cards as well, but please make sure that you hide your personal details when you post them on social media. Your bank account will be thankful.
Now it’s up to you! N26 Bank is here. And this is the update that’s going to set the pace for all that’s to come from us. More of the ideas you send us will be made possible. Like we said, this is the mother of all updates (new updates are incubating), and we’ll deliver them soon. Send your input to ideas@n26.com or leave them directly in the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas).
Until next time,
Your team at N26
P.S. Please leave us a review or refresh your old one in the AppStore if you think all of the above is awesome. It doesn’t cost anything but it helps others to find us and it makes us proud. Thank you for your time.
Yes, another small release with little exciting to see on the surface. We’re working day and night for this and can finally say: N26 Bank is coming within the next week. We’ve taken more time before opening our doors so we could complete the finishing touches on our new products. You’ll be able to select one of these when we invite you to transfer your account. The login issues you might have had are also fixed.
Almost there, almost there.
This update is so major we’re finally doing something we’ve been waiting to do for months – change the first number of our version name. Say hello to version 3.0. You may not notice any difference on the surface, but we’ve tuned everything under the hood to prepare for versions 3.1 and beyond.
Watch your inboxes.

N26 Bank is coming.
In our last update we introduced the ability to request money through iMessage. Now you can also do this from within the N26 app.
+++ New Feature: Request money +++
We love doing things with our friends. Eating, talking, dancing, drinking, and now … requesting money. All you have to do is open the transaction menu from anywhere in the app, select Request, select your contact and request your lunch money back.
+++ Improvements and fixes +++
We experienced a few problems with TouchID – these problems should be fixed and you will be able to activate it again. A few speed problems and glitches in the interface were also resolved.
Small side note: These updates are coming hard and fast, and the one BIG THING you may be looking forward to is coming soon. You may be thinking “yeah, right, that’s just a trick to make me pay attention” but this is for real. We’ll send you the mother of all updates soon.
We hear from time to time that you actually read these release notes, and some of you are crazy enough to enjoy reading them. Well if that’s how you really feel, leave us a review in the AppStore. If you have any hilarious jokes or amazing ideas, send them to ideas@n26.com or leave them directly in the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas).
Until next time,

You are not reading this wrong. We are already back with another update, just in time for the new iOS 10. Send money by talking to Siri, use the brand new N26 widget and finally request that lunch money back – directly in iMessage.
+++ Use Siri to send money to your friends +++
We don’t know about you, but talking to our devices and making them do things is definitely a vision of the future we dreamed of as kids. As soon as you finish updating, activate N26 in your phone settings and ask Siri to send money to one of your contacts. For example, “Hey Siri, send €25 to Freddy using N26.”
+++ Request money in iMessage +++
Think of the last time you paid for everyone’s lunch and they were slow to MoneyBeam you back. When is it actually okay to remind them? Starting today, you can request money from your contacts through iMessage and avoid all the ... awkwardness. All you have to do is start a message, select N26 in the Apps menu and send your first request to a friend who is also using N26 with iOS 10. Of course you’ll receive the usual push notifications when you get paid.
+++ One more thing… +++
Need to glance at your account balance quickly? We added an N26 widget to the Today section of your iPhone. You can also “force touch” the N26 icon to see the widget with your current account balance, your available balance (including Overdraft) and the balance of your Saving/Investment accounts – all without opening the app.
Make sure to update to the brand new iOS 10 before trying these new features!
As you can see, we’re clearly working on new stuff all the time. You know how to make all of this even better? Send us cool ideas directly in the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas) or send us an email to ideas@n26.com.
Thank you so much for your time, and until next time.

P.S. Please leave us a review or refresh your old one in the AppStore if you think all of the above is awesome.

This update features a design refresh and the start of our Fair Use Policy.
+++ Design refresh +++
As a tribute to the glorious summer we just had here in Berlin, we’re freshening up our look. First, we played with color and typography in small but noticeable ways. Then we redesigned a few “invisible” things that will be important soon. We added a space for your scheduled future transactions so you can see which ones are coming up as soon as you log in. These are showing up when you scroll down from the top of your transaction list.
+++ For customers from Germany: Fair Use Policy +++
Back in July we announced our new Fair Use Policy, which offers 5 or 3 free ATM withdrawals per month in Germany. Implementation of this policy starts now so we’re including info screens and notifications, so you’re always in the loop.
You may be wondering how we even think of the numbers of these updates. We’re at 2.9 now. Is 2.10 next? What will it take to reach version 3.0? You’ll have to keep reading these to find out!
As usual, we’re asking for your feedback because you’re the smartest users in the business. Seriously. Let us know if you have any ideas for improvements directly in the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas) or email ideas@n26.com. And if you think we’re doing a good job, leave or refresh your review in the AppStore!
Until next time,

With this release we’re bringing you improvements for N26 Invest and international transfers.
+++ N26 Invest: Better charts +++
When we released N26 Invest a few weeks back, we wanted to break the ice for users who were interested in investing, but weren’t necessarily financial experts. With this update we’re making an important change to make it even easier to predict how portfolios could perform in the future. Every plan’s projection chart will now take into account any influence that the minimum fee has on any given plan. This change will make N26 Invest more transparent, accessible and user-friendly.
+++ TransferWise improvements +++
Who knew transferring money into foreign currencies could be so fun? We made a little change to our TransferWise feature to make it easier to play with different currencies and see the respective exchange rates.
+++ Somebody call for an exterminator? +++
We called in a ghost to squash all our bugs. Never know what hit ‘em.
+++ Ideas and reviews +++
One more thing. We’d like to think we’re pretty good at this whole personal banking product thing, but only because we’re always listening to your feedback. Let us know if you have any ideas for improvements directly in the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas) or email ideas@n26.com. And if you think we’re really good, leave us a review in the AppStore!
Until next time,

Hello world, we’re called N26 now. Simple banking – simple new name. This update also brings a feature a lot of you have requested in the last few months – somewhere to put your money to let it work for you. Hint: it’s not working underneath your mattress.
+++ Banking by Design +++
Everything we create is designed to make personal banking simpler and more enjoyable. As you’re reading this, we’ve already achieved official recognition as a licensed bank by the European Central Bank, which means we can power our product with our own bank. With this we’re reducing complexity one massive step and can innovate even faster than before.
+++ New: Investment for all of us +++
As you might have guessed, we’re not exactly an old-fashioned financial company full of guys in suits. We believe in helping you manage your financial life with simple solutions – not wearing ties. That’s why we’re bringing you N26 Invest, a simple investment experience that completely lives on your iPhone, is easy to use and easy on the eyes.
Here’s how N26 Invest works:
1. Start with as little as €10
2. Choose a cautious, balanced or bold plan based on your risk preference
3. See your projected outcome for the future
4. Deposit and withdraw at any time
5. Let your money work for you
You’re in complete control over your plan selection and you can make financial decisions regardless of what you’re wearing.
+++ Small improvements +++
We added 4 new currencies to TransferWise. Now you can transfer Euros into 19 currencies at the real exchange rate. Also, the categories were extended and aligned to better suit your needs.
+++ Your ideas +++
We bet you’re already thinking about what the world’s best banking experience should look like, and how you can improve the one we literally just released. Well, we’re listening! Submit your ideas for improvements about anything related to N26 directly in-app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas) or email ideas@n26.com.
Stay tuned for more good stuff coming soon… really soon.
Your Team at N26
P.S. Bonus points for reading all the way down here. Even more bonus bonus points for leaving an AppStore review. They make a big difference to us, so please take a moment if you find the time and you think N26 makes your life easier.

This week's magic number is 40 million
And no, it’s not the number of bugs
Because we squashed them all again
To all our friends, also in other countries,
We can’t wait to share what’s next
To make our product that much better
That much more delightful
That much more futuristic
You’ll see
We’re quite busy with building new stuff.
Super exciting, super secret stuff.
But hey, with this release we fixed a few bugs.
A few came back. We fixed them, this time properly.
Then we updated your app and here it is.
Tadaaa.
P.S. Did anyone watch the WWDC?
This update makes your NUMBER26 account a bit smarter and helps you organize your spending.
+++ Getting organized with #tags and updated categories +++
How much did you really spend during your last vacation? How much of your money goes to delivery services every year? With this major update we improved our automated categories and introduced hashtags to make it much easier for you to answer these and many more questions. When you use tags to describe your transactions, the smart account will learn from you and give you better suggestions for categories and tags in the future.
+++ Express Card Delivery +++
Planning to take a trip in two days but you just realized that you lost your card? In Germany we now work with UPS to offer an optional express delivery service to get you your card in time.
Other improvements:
++ Contact Customer Support directly from the app
++ Attach photos to transactions when you want to keep invoices/receipts
++ New option to store your personal tax ID in application settings – which will come in handy for some cool upcoming features
++ Detail views of transactions look much cleaner
++ Cash Map makes it even easier to generate barcodes for cash withdrawals/deposits at CASH26 locations
Truth be told, we’re rather obsessed with making our users happy. That’s why we’re constantly improving our service based upon your feedback. You can help us by submitting your suggestions for improvements. You can do this directly from within the app (Settings > Service > Product Ideas) or write to us at ideas@number26.de.
Hope you enjoy this update!
Your NUMBER26 Team
P.S.: Leaving an AppStore review takes almost less time than sending money via Moneybeam – Freddy holds our record with 6 seconds. This small gesture means a lot to us, so please take a moment to write a review or update your old one if NUMBER26 makes your life easier.
This update adds support for the Apple Watch and a map to find places where you can get cash – ATMs included.
+++ Apple Watch +++
For all you techies out there – you can now access your transaction list right from your wrist with your Apple Watch. View your current balance and latest transactions at a glance.
+++ Cash Map +++
We heard all of you loud and clear who requested this feature. Now you’ll be able to see a better map to find cash near you. Since we don’t own traditional – and expensive – branches, we included more than 6000 partners (supermarkets like REWE, Penny, real,-, …) where you can easily withdraw/deposit money, just by showing a barcode on your phone (we call this CASH26). New Beta feature: ATMs are included now as well, but since we’re still testing this, not all of them might be displayed correctly on the map.
+++ Introducing: Smart Spending +++
Our vision is to create an experience that makes your financial life easier. This is why you might notice occasional insights in your app that will help you feel more confident with your money and help you spend smarter. This is just the first step and we’ll go into more details with all of this soon.
Other improvements:
+ Bug fixes to make the app even more reliable
+ New and improved sign-up process
+ Telling your friends about NUMBER26 just got easier
+ Press the app icon on your iPhone homescreen harder to access key features (for all the new iPhones that support 3D touch)
+ In a hurry? Copy an IBAN to your clipboard from anywhere on your phone, switch back to the app and immediately start a new transfer.
Every day you’re sending us lots of great ideas for improvements. It’s easy to do so: just go to your app, Settings > Service > Product Ideas or send us an email with your suggestions to ideas@number26.de.
Spring is here – enjoy your week!
Your NUMBER26 Team
P.S.: Please leave a review or refresh your old one if you think NUMBER26 makes your life easier. This literally takes less than 26 seconds and costs €0,00 but makes us very proud!

*****
** New currencies **
You can now make transfers from Euros into 15 other currencies!
** Transactions and account balance **
We received a lot of feedback, and we listened. Your pending transactions and incoming transfers are highlighted now and you can access your overdraft from the home screen. Go back in time and see your account balance for any date in the past by simply scrolling down.
** Contacts **
Highly requested and finally here: Delete contacts from your list and take a look at the transaction history for each contact.
** New PULSE26 Insights **
We are continually improving the new intelligent, customised insights on your home screen. When we introduced this feature in the last release we wanted to give you a little outlook to the future of banking: It will be all about context and getting personal. As you use the app more often, PULSE26 will also provide periodic, fun insights.
We also worked hard on a lot of stability and UI improvements under the hood to make your experience more enjoyable.
