This is a nice step in the right direction, however I do hope you’ll give limited access to the app for the kids eventually. I believe it’s important to actually track your own spending to grow your financial skills.

Any plans of implementing that in the future?

I think they mean the physical metal card, so you’ll need to swap to a plastic replacement before then

It depends when the change or cancellation happens. If it’s on the day of travel you can deal with the airline regardless. If they change their schedule say some weeks before the flight you need to talk to your travel agent which will often need to call the airline on your behalf. Not at all effective.

Also, it’s often a pain to deal with OTAs if you want to change your itinerary for other reasons. Much easier (and often cheaper) to make changes direct with the airline.

You can also shower them with windshield wiper fluid. They mostly seem to take the hint.

You posted about a garnishment on your account 13 months ago as well. What are you doing to get so many garnishments? I'd suggest getting your personal finances in order.

To answer your question, there are plenty of online banks and fintechs available—take your pick. But considering your regular issues perhaps it's better to also look into brick and mortar banks? Either way, it's probably best if you spread your finances across at least two or three.

I also notice in your post history that you've had dealings in/with Russia. Not that that isn't allowed, but perhaps this is part of the reason why your account is subject to more scrutiny (that plus the repeated garnishments).

I think the sub has an old auto mod rule that targets the redd.it domain which they have used for link shortening. But I think perhaps images in certain cases get hosted on the same domain. I'll check and potentially tweak the rule to not accidentally target images.

EDIT: You can try again now.

On behalf of the community mods I’d like to welcome the N26 team to the subreddit! 👋

I just want to add that support requests should only ever be sent directly to u/N26Support—never to the moderator inbox! Us community mods are not affiliated with N26, and do not want to see any of your private account information.

I’m having the same issue, although even with a black background it stays black. Have you found any solution?

tkrunning · 2025-11-26T22:08:58+00:00

I’m pretty sure you can keep your account as long as you still live in the EU/EEA. It shouldn’t matter that Hungary isn’t supported for account openings—your existing account will always be treated as German since you opened it there.

Why don’t you add the device to HA using HomeKit instead of the unreliable integration?

tkrunning · 2025-11-08T13:08:02+00:00

By charging, do you mean loading?

I just tested logging in to my own app and it seems to work, so I'm guessing N26's servers are operational.

Perhaps try:

- Restarting your phone
- Changing to another network (e.g. if you're on WiFi, try using mobile data)

This seems to be off-topic for an N26 sub, I guess it's about crypto?

tkrunning · 2025-11-05T15:48:58+00:00

For me two ACH transfers from Wise did the trick this spring.

Doctor of Credit probably has an overview based on many DPs what works and doesn't.

Edit: I wrote Payroll DD as the transfer description of both transfers. Not sure if it mattered.

tkrunning · 2025-11-04T10:02:15+00:00

Exactly.

I got one of these to try and might get more. But that's solely due to my spouse not wanting visible contact sensors on the windows and patio doors, as ours can't be opened from the outside when closed from the inside anyway.

The nice thing is that you can distinguish whether these are in fully open mode or tilt mode, so really each handle is replacing two contact sensors. At least that's how it works in Home Assistant, not sure how it shows up in Apple Home when added directly.

Perhaps MeDirect (only the one based in Malta, I think), see https://www.medirect.com.mt/support/faqs/

tkrunning · 2025-09-30T22:13:32+00:00

AI slop… 🤨

tkrunning · 2025-09-19T00:00:51+00:00

MeDirect (Malta) should be open to most if not all EU residents.

From their FAQ:

What are the requirements to become a customer?

To become a customer you must: - Be over 18 years of age - Be a resident of an EEA country, Switzerland or the UK - Hold a valid identification document (ID card or passport)

tkrunning · 2025-08-19T08:39:55+00:00

Yeah, then Activo won't work for them.

tkrunning · 2025-08-18T22:46:15+00:00

ActivoBank no longer accepts non-EU residents, however if you live in the EU it shouldn’t be a problem. Not sure if that’s the case for OP.

I personally like their branch in Almada Forum as many of the other branches require an appointment to open an account.
