NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- N26 Inc. has now made its mobile banking app available to US consumers nationwide after completing its two-month beta program. Starting today, US residents can download the app directly from the Apple App Store and Google Play and apply for an N26 account and Visa® debit card powered by FDIC-insured Axos® Bank in five minutes. N26 Inc. is the US subsidiary of N26 GmbH ("N26"), parent company of one of Europe's fastest growing mobile banks known for its beautiful design and unparalleled user experience. N26 will accompany its nationwide product launch with a new brand campaign that will be seen on buses, trains and taxis across New York, San Francisco and Chicago.

"We are excited to now open up N26 to the millions of US consumers who are frustrated with their current banking experience. We give users a banking app and Visa debit card that matches their lifestyles," says Nicolas Kopp, US CEO, N26 Inc. "We created a mobile, fast and easy way to bank."

In the US, N26 partners with some of the most loved subscription services in its new Perks program. N26 customers will benefit from up to 10% off the cost of select monthly subscriptions when paying with their N26 card. Current subscriptions include health and fitness app Aaptiv, micro-learning reading app Blinkist, podcast platform Luminary, and global music and entertainment streaming platform TIDAL. New partners are being added to the program regularly, and an updated list can be found in the app.

The release today also includes N26's peer-to-peer payment service MoneyBeam. Customers can now use MoneyBeam to send and receive money from their friends, family, and anyone in their smartphone contact lists who also has an active US N26 account. Funds are transferred instantly between US N26 users and makes sharing expenses, such as a restaurant bill, fast and easy.

For the people who are tired of waiting for their paychecks, N26 offers a feature that allows users to receive their salary up to two days earlier when setting up direct deposit with their N26 accounts. Each account also comes with Spaces, which are sub-accounts that help N26 users organize and achieve their financial goals. Spaces can be created with a simple click, and users can easily drag and drop money to and from their Spaces.

There are many other features in the N26 app that give customers the power to live and bank their way. Account activity is displayed in the app in real time and customers can set daily spending limits and lock and unlock their N26 debit cards, all with a simple swipe in the app. The US product also provides two free withdrawals per month at ATMs nationwide.
