  1. [R1] N26 1/5 · US Cannot log in: Cannot log in for some unknown reason. It's trash. · translated
  2. [R7] N26 1/5 · US no longer works with iOS 16: N26 no longer works with iOS16, and does not allow use of older versions of the app. My phone is not eligible for iOS 17, and so N26 no longer works for me.
  3. [R10] N26 1/5 · US Broken build!!!: The selfie camera for identity check crashes the app. No way to login. That’s terrible experience.
  4. [R13] N26 1/5 · US Horrible: The app got me stuck in a loop during identity verification. So app is unusable for me. Not only the app is unusable but the whole company is absolutely horrible, got in touch with them TWICE via chat, trying to explain what is happening, like I really wanted to open an account with them, I got ghosted in the chat, TWICE, not a connection problem, they just didnt bother to follow up. The
  5. [R5] N26 5/5 · US Fresh in Berlin: Just arrived in Berlin and in need for bank account. N26 was a total blast. Completed everything digitally within less than 1 hour
  6. [R6] N26 3/5 · US No pin received: It is 23:40 and I am not receiving a verification pin, since no human is working! The chat both told me to Seite until the next day 🤨! For what you have a chat when they are not able to help?
  7. [R9] N26 3/5 · US Too much AI and too little human control: Opening a bank account is failing for me with some technical ID. For more than a week I’m trying to figure out with support what is the problem. Looks like some alert, but they can not say for sure what. If the bank is so bad at opening an account I would expect it to be even worse at serving it
  8. [R16] N26 1/5 · US Can't open it after update: To no use has been support so far
  9. [R3] N26 3/5 · US it ok: after begging for notifications for important banking alert. first alert is for review. notifications back off forever.
  10. [R20] N26 4/5 · US 5 years great bank: We have been using N26 for 5 years. There have been a few glitches and there are changes I’d like made. But this is a robust service that has allowed us to handle financial transactions as expats really seemlessly. Without the N26 app, we would have had great difficulty integrating into Germany. And the app has continued to add improvements.
  11. [R21] N26 3/5 · GB Refused use: Tried contactless payment and refused..!!
  12. [R26] N26 5/5 · US perfect: very good card and I can use it on Apple Pay
  13. [R4] N26 1/5 · US Abusive neobank: Avoid. They blocked our grandma account for receiving 500 EUR from her son. They wanted proof of source of funds. I guess this is how drug dealers launder money in N26 world. By sending old people 500 EUR. Idiocy.
  14. [R15] N26 3/5 · GB Spanish Bank: This account has a Spanish IBAN but the Spanish Government do not legitimise it as acceptable to pay their invoices online. An online document search could be done by Credit Card or Direct Debit using the N26 IBAN
  15. [R19] N26 1/5 · US Don’t use this bank: Totally awful bank. I have never felt so scammed by a financial institution in my life. First they demand, almost in a rush, that I transfer my own money to another account “to avoid problems,” giving me a 30‑day deadline as if they were doing me a favor. Communication is terrible: confusing messages, changing conditions, and no one willing to take responsibility; just generic
  16. [R22] N26 1/5 · US Fraudulent bank: Open my account so I can access my money
  17. [R2] N26 5/5 · US Please support Chinese for the app.: Please support Chinese for the app.
  18. [R61] Woodforest Mobile Banking 2/5 · US Unable to deposit through app: When I tap to take a photo of the front of check the app force closes.
  19. [R69] Woodforest Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Shutting down: Every time I go to make a deposit, it closes the whole app.
  20. [R73] Woodforest Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Deposit and Mobile Deposit: First check I tried to do a mobile deposit and they made me go in to deposit the check. Second check I took it in and they refused to deposit. They told me to go to the bank that printed the check and bring cash to deposit. What is even the point?!
  21. [R81] Woodforest Mobile Banking 1/5 · US Mobile banking needs lots of work: So many glitches in the process! Do not like the app. Deposit process kicked me out 4 times!
  22. [R76] Woodforest Mobile Banking 4/5 · US 2026: The app is good. The bank works, but it’s 2026, it’s time to start accepting Zelle and Venmo (instant) transactions.
