N26 officially launches its premium product for the digital lifestyle

N26 tonight announced the upcoming launch of its premium product N26 Metal to new customers in Germany, Austria, France and Italy at its first N26 Access community event in Berlin. The contactless N26 Metal card showcases an all-metal stainless steel surface, complimented by precision laser engraving. The Metal membership comes with an exclusive partner program, dedicated customer service, worldwide travel insurance and more. Starting June 19th, N26 Metal members benefit from the best exchange rates for card purchases around the world and no extra fees when withdrawing money abroad. After previously being limited to selected customers, it is now available for all existing and new customers.

The N26 Metal card is crafted using N26’s signature minimalist design. The all-metal stainless steel front highlights the mechanically etched logos of Mastercard and N26. The card weighs in at 18g, making it more than three times heavier than a regular plastic card. The new design and double-coated matte black finish gives the card a sleek look and refined touch.

“N26 Metal is more than just a premium banking product, it’s a membership program for today’s digital lifestyle,” says Valentin Stalf, CEO & Founder of N26. “We have seen overwhelming demand on our waiting list and are happy to officially start shipping cards next week.”

In addition to the unique design, dedicated customer service, worldwide travel insurance and the best exchange rates to pay and withdraw money abroad, N26 Metal includes a partner program that is part of the personalized Metal section of the N26 mobile app. The vision of this partner program is to go beyond financial services, giving members on-demand access and benefits to the most relevant digital products that they use every day. Following the initial release of N26 Metal to selected customers last December, N26 has expanded the range of partner benefits available to its Metal members. By now, some of the brands that can be found in the Metal section are WeWork, GetYourGuide and Babbel. More partners can be found in the app.

Last but not least, N26 Metal members will also have premium access to new N26 products. The first feature to which Metal members will enjoy premium access will be launched in a few weeks and is designed to help customers revolutionise their personal money management.
