About N26 Statements
N26 is a German digital bank with pan-European presence, known for mobile-first banking and real-time notifications. Their statements are optimized for digital delivery with clean, modern formatting and detailed merchant category information. The multi-currency Spaces feature results in clear sub-account allocation in statements.
Statement Conversion Notes
N26 statements include merchant logos and map locations for transactions. Metal and premium account benefits are clearly itemized.
N26 Statement Format Details
Understanding the specific layout and structure of N26 PDF statements helps ensure accurate conversion to Xero. Here is what our parser handles for this bank:
1
N26 statements are only available in PDF format exported from the app or web interface — no native CSV or Excel export is available directly from N26, which is the primary reason users convert N26 statements with CBE
2
Transaction descriptions include the merchant name as displayed in the N26 app — space-separated words with no additional banking reference codes, making descriptions cleaner than traditional banks but lacking the extra context codes
3
N26 Spaces (sub-accounts used for budgeting goals) appear as internal transfers in the main account statement — Space-tagged transactions show the Space name in the description (e.g., "Transfer to Vacation Space") and must be handled as internal transfers
4
German N26 accounts show transaction amounts in EUR with comma as the decimal separator (e.g., "1.234,56 €") — international N26 accounts in the UK (GBP) or US use period decimals; the currency symbol determines which format applies
5
N26 Business accounts include a VAT-tracking field for eligible transactions — this appears as "Business" category tags and an optional notes field in downloaded PDFs, not present in personal account statements
6
Statement cover page includes IBAN and BIC prominently — German accounts use IBAN starting DE, UK accounts starting GB — extracted as account metadata and excluded from the transaction row dataset
Supported Statement Versions
- 2016-2024 EU (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria) and UK accounts supported
- N26 Business and Personal account statement formats are identical in structure
- N26 Metal and N26 You accounts share the same statement format as standard N26
Known Issues We Handle
- N26 statements use a compact single-page layout for months with fewer than 10 transactions — the converter handles both the compact single-page and the multi-page variants without configuration changes
- N26 discontinued UK banking services in April 2020 — UK statement exports from before that date follow the same PDF format as EU accounts
