New bank account holders get frustrated by having to wait for their card to arrive in the mail before being able to access their funds. N26 has removed this negativity by enabling you to add your card number into your mobile wallet, right away, even before you physically have the card.

This function allows you to spend up to €200 a day, for up to 30 days, until your card arrives by mail. When it does get to you, activate it, and this feature then becomes permanent.

New SuperGreen Product

New products from Bunq are the premium and business SuperGreen Bunq accounts. For every €100 that you spend, Bunq will plant a tree in your name. How’s that for giving something back?
