N26 to Leverage Allpoint Network's Surcharge-Free Cash Access for its US mobile banking app

HOUSTON, Oct. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- N26 Inc., the US subsidiary of German mobile bank N26 GmbH, has chosen Cardtronics' Allpoint Network and its 40,000 U.S.-based surcharge-free ATMs to power its cash access strategy for its recent expansion into the United States. Boasting 3.5 million European customers since its launch in 2015, N26 GmbH is part of the worldwide surge of fintech banks that are challenging traditional banks with a compelling mobile-first offering that includes low to no fees, streamlined account set up, and on-demand access to banking transactions through a modern, mobile interface.

N26 launched its U.S. expansion in August with a traditional print and outdoor ad campaign that speaks to consumers' pain points regarding traditional banking – including ATM fees. In addition to offering customers two free ATM withdrawals per month at any ATM nationwide, N26's agreement with Allpoint Network gives the firm's customers unlimited surcharge-free cash access at Allpoint Network ATMs across the country.

Allpoint Network is Cardtronics' retail-based surcharge-free ATM network with 55,000 global locations, including 40,000 in the U.S., powering physical cash access for a growing number of fintech firms and mobile-first banking apps like N26. The easy-to-implement cash access program provides fintechs with a cost-effective cash strategy that complements their digital offerings without the need to build a physical infrastructure of their own.

"Cardtronics, through Allpoint, is helping N26 deliver on its promise of "mobile banking the world loves" while removing the physical access barrier that exists for many competing fintech offerings," said Brian Bailey, EVP and North America Managing Director. "Consumers drawn to the high value, digital-centric offerings of fintech firms still need cash-in-hand, cash that N26 and others are increasingly finding is best provided in partnership with Cardtronics and the Allpoint Network."
