Leading German digital bank N26 incorporates 1GLOBAL eSIM

N26 is a digital-only bank active across 24 European markets. Since its founding in 2013, N26 has continually expanded in scope to become an all-in-one financial services platform, offering personal banking, ETF and stock investments, and crypto trading, all within a single app.

Now, N26 has further diversified its offering by incorporating eSIM services. N26 customers have the option to purchase eSIM mobile plans for their smartphones directly within the N26 app.

This is made possible by partnering with 1GLOBAL, a leading international telecommunications platform that delivers eSIM and mobile connectivity services for multinational clients worldwide.

A new way to access mobile plans

N26 and 1GLOBAL share a technology-driven outlook that has defined their partnership. The new eSIM integration leverages 1GLOBAL’s eSIM expertise and N26’s app-first user experience to provide reliable, cost-effective local mobile plans to N26 customers.

N26 users can now simply open their app to purchase mobile plans with mobile data, SMS, and voice functionality, including free roaming across the entirety of the EU and EEA.

Crucially, these plans are simple to use and deliver 5G mobile data speeds and great connectivity thanks to the 1GLOBAL core network.

• No long-term contracts: N26 mobile plans are flexible, without the binding contracts associated with many traditional network providers.

• Simple to manage: An easy-to-access oversight of mobile usage and spending within the N26 app puts customers in control of their mobile plans, with no paperwork and no physical SIM cards.

• Instant connectivity: Customers can start using these plans in seconds – all they need to do is open their N26 app, select their desired plan, and get connected. Any payments can be made directly within the app.
