德国N26数字银行风险预警:目前正在批量封锁风险账户并且原则上不退钱

Background introduction

Beginning in the early morning of HKT 2022-09-02, a group of friends reported that N26 cards could not be paid. At noon, a large number of users received account closure notices.

The scope of the attack is not only cloud users with Chinese passports, but also foreigners such as France.

The attack range is not 100%, and there are still many users who have not activated their physical cards and who have opened an account for a few days.

Of course, N26 currently chooses Germany, and through passport + video interview, you can still open an account very quickly.

In addition, many digital banks and digital financial accounts have certain risks due to risks and account opening compliance. In principle, it is recommended to focus on consumer demand and avoid risky behaviors such as transferring money without spending or depositing a large amount of funds. Deposit requirements are recommended to deposit in serious multinational banks (such as HSBC, Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Citibank, DBS Bank)

Account Closing Notice Template

To ensure our customers’ privacy and account safety, we are obligated to run routine checks on accounts and transactions.

As part of these checks, we have identified irregularities that require us to terminate your N26 account pursuant to the Termination Clause of the Terms and Conditions of your N26 account on an extraordinary basis and without prior notice.

This termination is effective immediately. Usage of your N26 account, app, and card is no longer possible.

It is currently not possible to withdraw the remaining balance on your N26 account. Please send us proof of the origin of the funds through appropriate receipts. We will then assess whether a payout of the remaining balance is possible. This information may be emailed as a scan or photo.

If you would like to continue correspondence via email, we’ll need your express consent. Therefore, please reply directly to this email with the above information within the next 14 days and include the following statement:

Please note that you can revoke your consent to the transmission of personal data by email at any time. In this case, we will only communicate by post. It’s important to note that the transmission of your data by post is usually more secure. Please contact us for more information.

Thank you for your understanding.

One last thing—you’ll need to request your N26 data or your Statement of Fees information. You can request this for up to six months after your account closure, but we recommend doing it as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

Your N26 Team

A netizen was also detained on the same day as Monzo (what a coincidence, I don’t know if there is any connection, maybe it’s a coincidence, but take it as a warning)
