Financial service company N26 strengthens its travel offer by providing travel eSIM mobile plans and offering 1% cashback on all international travel expenses.
In an effort to simplify international travel, N26, the digital bank known for its market-leading exchange rates, has launched a new Travel eSIM. This innovative feature offers instant mobile data access in over 100 countries without the need for a physical SIM card or additional apps.
The Travel eSIM is fully digital and provides flexible, affordable data plans tailored by destination, available at competitive flat rates with no hidden fees or roaming surprises. Users can activate their eSIM and data plans in just a few taps within the N26 app, either before departure or upon arrival. Data plans automatically activate when connecting to the destination’s network.
One of the key benefits of the Travel eSIM is that it allows users to keep their primary phone number for calls and texts while using the eSIM for data. The prepaid pricing model ensures transparent costs, and the eSIM supports major eSIM-compatible devices, including iPhone XR and later models, and many newer Android phones like Samsung Galaxy S20+ and Google Pixel 3+.
The Travel eSIM integrates seamlessly with N26’s banking app, offering additional travel benefits such as fee-free worldwide payments, 24/7 customer support, cashback on international travel spending, and travel insurance for premium account holders. The eSIM is available to eligible customers in many European countries, enhancing travel convenience within the EU and beyond.
In addition to the Travel eSIM, N26 has introduced a 1% travel cashback on in-person purchases outside Europe for N26 Go and N26 Metal subscribers. This cashback offer has no minimum spending requirements or limits on claimable amount and applies to international spend while traveling to the Americas, Asia Pacific, and other regions outside of the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland.
N26 continues to offer unlimited free ATM withdrawals abroad, ensuring access to cash without extra fees. The bank also provides comprehensive travel insurance covering trip delays, interruptions, baggage damage, medical emergencies, and more. Furthermore, N26 offers access to over 1,300 airport lounges worldwide through digital lounge access passes within the app.
In summary, the N26 Travel eSIM simplifies staying connected abroad by combining flexible, affordable digital mobile data plans with the security and convenience of an integrated banking and travel service app. This reduces the need for physical SIM cards or third-party apps, making international travel more seamless and stress-free. The Travel eSIM and cashback offer are additional features to the existing services provided by N26, enhancing the bank's commitment to providing a comprehensive travel solution for its customers.
By merging travel needs with banking services, N26 offers 24/7 customer support and travel insurance for premium account holders, thereby providing a comprehensive travel solution. The bank's innovation, the Travel eSIM, offers seamless data connectivity in 100+ countries, unburdening users from the hassle of physical SIM cards or additional apps.
