N26 has announced it is launching joint accounts in 21 new European markets to enable customers to manage their finances as a couple.

The Berlin-based digital bank said that personal finances and finances shared with a partner can be managed through the app, making it easier to budget and track shared expenses.

Each customer can create one joint account and a maximum of two customers can participate in a joint account together.

The joint account can be linked to a customer’s personal virtual or physical cards within the app.

"N26 customers can open a joint account with their partner or loved one in just a few taps, without complexity or tedious paperwork” said Valentin Stalf, founder and chief executive of N26. “This way, our customers can easily manage their personal and shared finances within the N26 app, while building healthy financial habits and achieving their financial goals together."

In November last year, N26 ceased operating in Brazil to concentrate on its core European markets.

While the company had been testing versions of its products in Brazil with selected customers since November 2021, these were never launched to the wider public.
