Ask HN: Should I Open a Bank Account with N26?
Friends of mine only swear by them. I'd like to collect your opinions on this online banking service. Is it really that good ? What differentiates it from other such services ?
- macaroni-dash 9y agoI am with N26 but move to comdirect now (based in Germany). The reason: To be honest, I earn too much money as a software developer to trust a new StartUp with my money. Other reason: I want to invest in stocks which N26 is way too small to offer those kind of services in the near future. So what is N26 good for? Answer: As a day to day account. Maybe even as your salary account. The pros: Push Notifications, easy transfers (especially to those who are also at N26). But move big chunks of your income to a different bank. I trust the german regulators, but if shit is going down, I don't trust N26 to call me back and verify transactions etc. So I would use it as a daily driver, but store your savings somewhere else.
- Markoff 9y agowhy not? it's free, i use it as secondary bank account, though i would not trust them with large amounts of money, but except the trust problem i don't see any problems and their transparent MasterCard had amazing design for people in IT
