Berlin-based digital bank N26 has announced its entry into the European telecommunications sector with the launch of N26 SIM, a new mobile service designed to offer flexible and competitively priced mobile plans.
The move marks the latest expansion for the fintech company, known for its app-based banking services, as it diversifies its offerings beyond traditional financial products.
N26 SIM operates using Vodafone Germany’s 5G network and leverages eSIM technology to provide a fully digital experience.
Customers can activate their mobile plans directly through the N26 app without the need for paperwork, physical SIM cards, or visits to mobile network stores.
This approach is aimed at simplifying the process of setting up mobile connectivity.
The service includes unlimited domestic calls and texts, as well as free roaming within the EU and EEA.
Customers can select from three data packages: 10 GB for €13.99 per month, 30 GB for €19.99 per month, or 100 GB for €34.99 per month.
Users may opt to transfer their existing phone number or receive a new one from N26.
Plans are offered with the option to cancel with one month’s notice, providing flexibility without long-term contractual commitments.
N26 SIM also supports multiple numbers and active plans on a single device, a feature enabled by eSIM technology.
This may be particularly useful for individuals managing both work and personal lines or those who travel frequently and need adaptable connectivity options.
Valentin Stalf, founder and CEO of N26, said:
“With N26 SIM, we’ll offer flexible and affordable mobile plans that can be activated straight in our app with just a few taps. Together with our network operator Vodafone, our customers can be connected through one of the best mobile networks in Germany, setting new standards in the telecommunications sector.”
N26 SIM is available from today to eligible customers in Germany who hold a private N26 account.
The bank has launched the service in partnership with connectivity provider 1GLOBAL and is considering future expansion into other European markets.
