Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do loans work?
A loan is an amount of money that you borrow, which is then paid back over time with added interest on top. When you first take out your loan, you can choose how many months your loan will last, and how much you’ll have to pay back each month. With N26 Credit, you can get a personal loan of €1,000 to €25,000 directly in the N26 app, and pay it back over 12 to 60 months.
How does N26 calculate my loan interest rate?
Your personal loan offer is based on the amount you’d like to borrow, the repayment period, and your credit rating. Depending on these factors, N26 Credit offers effective interest rates starting from 5.11% p.a. You can request and compare your personal loan offers in the N26 app before making a decision.
Can I get a loan without a SCHUFA credit score?
Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer you a loan without knowing your SCHUFA credit score.
Will my loan request be shown on my SCHUFA credit score?
If accepted, the loan request will be noted on your SCHUFA credit report (new tab) for one year. But rest assured — this won't negatively impact your SCHUFA credit score.
How much money will I get?
The total amount of your N26 Credit loan depends on the details you provide, as well as your credit rating. We offer personal loans ranging from €1,000 to €25,000. Use our loan calculator on this page to calculate what your monthly payments could be.

How big of a loan can I afford?
This depends on your financial situation. With N26 Credit, you can get a loan of up to €25,000 and choose a payment plan ranging from 12 to 60 months.
