If your card is expiring soon, please log into your N26 account in the app, go to Cards Tab and look for a banner under the corresponding card. Follow the steps to confirm where you’d like to receive your replacement card and we’ll send it to you. 

If you don’t see that message, don’t worry. This is probably because your card still has some validity time ahead, when the time is right you’ll have the option to confirm your address.

Once your card arrives, you will have to activate it before you can begin using it. Don’t forget to destroy your old card and dispose of it according to your local recycling guidelines.
