Yeah no great loss then. I’ll just use every single other bank that doesn’t need this.

Open an N26 account or upgrade to get N26 Black and make traveller’s cheques a thing of the past.

Excellent selling point right there :rofl:

Yup and those 10 spaces… :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I get the feeling they haven’t looked at their UK alternatives…

that black card is looking appealling right now, I would pay for something similar or better on Monzo for the £4.90mo

Like they have been for, um, the last 20 years already :joy:

I’m in my 20s and have never even seen one :crazy_face: I wonder if N26 are targeting a different demographic with Black?

I’m on my 40s and I’ve never seen one. Have been travelling since the mid–nineties and have always used debit and credit cards, even when using an emergency cash facility in a bank branch in Ecuador.

I believe it’s more down to N26. I was told 11 days when I called the metal card support team, in regards to a failed pre auto transaction by bye cinemas. Though it did come back around the 8th day.

I’ve just added my card to Paypal. They did a £1 check. Im interested to see how long this one takes…

I also just got the Black email…

So the only real benefit vs Monzo is no limit on ATM transactions.

If you take out more than £365 per month in foreign ATMs, then N26 Black is cheaper than Monzo per month.

Moot anyway, as long as Starling is free, surely?

I think you’re all forgetting that paying lets you create up to 10 spaces.

Yet that hardly feels worth the fee, does it?
In fact in what sense can “Spaces” be regarded as anything other than a feature. Hardly a benefit worth paying for.

Yeah fair point! I always forget about Starling!

It isn’t even a World Elite Mastercard like the same product they offer in the rest of Europe.
