The interest is calculated daily and paid out monthly. The applicable interest rate depends on your membership. Due to recent changes in the interest rates set by the European Central Bank, we're changing our interest rates as follows:

N26 Standard:

  • New rate: 1.0% annual gross nominal interest
  • Old rate: 2.26% annual gross nominal interest

N26 Smart:

  • New rate: 1.0% annual gross nominal interest
