About the N26 Travel eSIM plan
Our regional and global Travel eSIM plans are here. Just update your N26 app to the latest version to see them.
The N26 Travel eSIM plan is a digital, data-only mobile service you can manage entirely in your N26 app. It allows you to purchase data bundles for a wide range of countries and regions to use when you travel.
Before you start
Please be aware of these limitations:
- Platform: The travel eSIM feature is only available in the N26 mobile app. It is not available on the N26 web app.
- Country: This feature is available in all N26 markets, with the exception of customers who have Italian T&Cs and an Italian IBAN.

- Eligibility: All N26 personal, business, and all-tier (Standard, Smart, You, Metal, Flex) accounts are eligible.
About eSIMs
An eSIM (embedded Subscriber Identity Module) is a digital SIM card. It allows you to download and activate a mobile plan directly on your device without needing a physical SIM card.
Purchase your plan
In the app:
- Log in to your N26 mobile app.
- Tap on your initials or profile picture in the top-right corner to access the Settings (also called "My Account").
- Scroll down and select Travel eSim under Mobile.
- You will be guided to choose your destination (country, region, or global) and the data bundle that suits your needs.
- As the final step of your first purchase, you can choose to "Install" your Travel eSIM immediately or "Skip" to do it later.
You only need to install the Travel eSIM once. All future data bundles you buy will be added to this single eSIM.
