Also wouldn't recommend them. I was a early customer, and when they switched over from the underlying 3rd party bank to their own banking license, they had to swap out everyones credit/debit cards. I lost access to my account in the process and only after a very tedious process of going through their support was able to get it back. Just because you are a digital bank doesn't mean you don't have to provide good support.


The underlying third-party bank was SolarisBank[0], for anyone who's interested.

> In November 2016 customers were asked to transfer their accounts to N26 Bank's infrastructure. As a result, they would have to get a new account IBAN number, while the previous accounts held by Wirecard would be terminated.
