“Now more than ever, digitalisation and innovation are fundamental to Europe’s future,” N26 chief executive Valentin Stalf said. “We will continue to bring exciting everyday banking features to millions of additional customers who still feel stuck in the offline world.”

“As we celebrate our sixth company anniversary, it’s inspiring to see that millions of people trust N26 to put their financial interests first,” said newly-appointed co-CEO Maximilian Tayenthal.

“As a fully licensed digital bank, we have built a banking experience for the times we live in, not for a specific generation, especially in the confining and uncertain times we live in today,” he added.

N26 increased its sales from €43m to nearly €100m in 2019, but losses increased from €70m to €217m.

N26 also claims that it consolidated its losses during the last year, loweing the net losses in Europe from €165m in 2019 to €110m in 2020. However, N26 did not disclose its non-European losses.
