How can I provide proof of origins of funds for my account?
How can I provide proof of origin of funds?
As a fully licensed bank, N26 has to carry out routine technical checks on customer accounts. Since we're a regulated institution, this helps us make sure the money in N26 accounts stays safe and secure.
Why does N26 ask for proof of origin of funds?
Because of German banking regulations, the results of these routine checks might mean we have to reach out to you to ask where certain funds came from. It's a standard part of keeping everything secure.
How will I be contacted?
Whenever we need this info, we'll send an email to your registered N26 email address. We'll include clear instructions in that email to show you exactly how to submit your documents and what format they should be in.
Security and phishing protection
Always stay vigilant. While N26 may request documentation regarding your funds, we will never ask for the following:
- Your N26 account password or PIN
- The sensitive details shared during your initial identity verification process
- Your full 16-digit card number
Before clicking any links, double-check that any emails you get are actually from N26.
