Overview

• N26 said Valentin Stalf will leave day-to-day leadership "soon" and, after a transition, take a seat on the supervisory board.
• Co-founder Maximilian Tayenthal remains in his current executive roles, and the two founders together hold roughly 20% of the company.
• The bank plans to expand its supervisory board and bolster risk governance, with Jochen Klöpper slated to start as chief risk officer in December 2025.
• Media link the shake-up to a damaging interim BaFin inspection and investor demands for change, and several outlets report chair Marcus Mosen could act as interim CEO, which N26 has not confirmed.
• N26 underscores operating progress, citing around 1,500 employees, roughly 5 million revenue-generating customers, strong 2024 revenue growth, and continued profitability in 2025.
