German Neobank N26 Extends Instant Savings Accounts to 13 European Countries

Date:

N26, the German neobank with headquarters in Berlin,
has expanded its instant savings accounts to 13 European markets.
This move allows customers in Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Greece,
Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia,
and Slovenia to earn up to 4% interest annually on their savings.

According to the firm’s official statement, the
savings accounts enable users to transfer funds between their interest-bearing
instant savings accounts and their primary accounts. Interest income on the new accounts is calculated daily
based on the balance in the instant savings account, factoring in any funds
moved in or out during the day. This amount is paid out at the start of the
following month.

N26 has structured the interest rates for the instant
savings account in tiers. Customers using N26 Metal will receive an interest
rate of 4% per annum, while those using the N26 Smart and You account or the free N26
standard account will earn 2.8% annually on their deposits.

Valentin Stalf, the CEO of N26, mentioned: “Thanks
to our pan-European business model, we are able to bridge the gap between
fragmented interest rate offers that may vary significantly across multiple
markets. We’re pleased to be able to now offer customers in these markets
highly competitive interest rates on their savings alongside our everyday
banking and investing products.”

According to N26, these rates apply to new and
existing customers, with no maximum deposit limit. All funds held with N26,
including those in instant savings accounts, are reportedly protected up to EUR
100,000 per customer by the German Deposit Protection Scheme.

Expanding Offerings

In January, N26 entered the digital trading space by
launching a platform that allows account holders to directly buy and sell
stocks and ETFs within the N26 mobile banking app.

Initially available in Austria, the company charges
0.9 EUR per trade for this service. N26 aims to cater to a wide range of investment preferences, with over 100 ETFs available at launch and
plans for expansion to offer over 1,000 stocks and ETFs in Germany and
Austria.

N26’s expansion into trading happened amid the firm’s impressive
revenue growth. Despite challenges, including a decline in valuation
and funding within the fintech industry, N26 has continued to thrive, driven by
increased customer activity and transaction volume.
