Pros and cons

Pros

  • No foreign conversion cost on the currency conversion fee of 0%, against a site median of 1%
  • Cashback of 1% on spending outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, paid as cashback
  • Free ATM withdrawals worldwide, a clear step up from a site median free withdrawal allowance of €0
  • Travel insurance and airport lounge access sit alongside a debit card on the mastercard network

Cons

  • The annual fee of €118.80 is a real cost, and the site annual fee median is €0
  • Cashback is limited to spending outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, and it stops after a set period
  • Support runs through phone and help centre, so the dedicated phone line is reserved for members paying the annual fee

Visit

Who it suits

  • People who travel regularly and pay in several currencies each year
  • Travellers who still take cash out at the machine and want free ATM withdrawals worldwide
  • Members who will use travel insurance and airport lounge access more than once a year

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone spending only inside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, where the cashback does not apply
  • People who want a cheap everyday debit card, since Varo Believe Secured Credit Card charges a monthly fee of $0
  • Bank customers who will not use travel insurance, lounge access or dedicated phone support, all of which come with the membership

Fees and FX

The monthly fee is €0, so the account opens with no recurring charge, and the currency conversion fee is 0%. Paying the membership adds €118.80 a year and brings travel insurance, airport lounge access, dedicated phone support and free ATM withdrawals worldwide. A separate Wise account, with a monthly fee of £0, keeps a nil monthly charge, but the travel perks sit with the paid membership.

How N26 Go compares

Frequently asked questions

What does the N26 Go membership cost?+

The membership runs at €118.80 a year on top of a monthly fee of €0. In return the account adds travel insurance, airport lounge access, dedicated phone support and free ATM withdrawals worldwide. The perks list is the reason to look past the annual fee.

Is there a foreign transaction or currency conversion fee?+

The currency conversion fee is 0%, so spending abroad keeps the full value of the transaction. That sits below the site median of 1%, which is why the card appeals to frequent travellers.

How much cashback does the card pay?+

Cashback runs at 1% on spending while traveling outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, for a set period, and the rewards type is cashback. Spending inside those regions does not earn the rate, so the value sits with trips out of the EEA.

Can I withdraw cash free abroad?+

Yes, the membership includes free ATM withdrawals worldwide. Compare that with the site free withdrawal allowance median of €0, and the reason to pay €118.80 becomes clearer for anyone who still takes notes out of machines.

What kind of card is it and which network runs it?+

The account issues a debit card on the mastercard network, and travel and virtual card features are included, which covers a virtual card for online spending. The card is offered by N26 SE, so it is a bank account rather than a prepaid balance.

Who is the account aimed at?+

The stated audience is kids and business, alongside the travel focus in the account features. The paid membership is really built for people who cross borders often, since the cashback only applies outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK.

How do I reach support as a member?+

Support runs on phone and help centre, and dedicated phone support is listed among the membership perks. That makes the phone line a paid feature rather than something every account holder gets, so weigh it alongside the €118.80 annual fee.
