YPOG advises N26 on the SE conversion

Reading time: 1 minute

Berlin, February 2025 – YPOG advised N26 AG on all corporate law aspects relating to its conversion into a European Company (SE).

N26 AG successfully converted into an SE effective January 31, 2025, and has been operating as N26 SE since then. In parallel, N26 Bank AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of N26 SE, was also converted into an SE. This strategic move underscores the company's commitment to continuously evolving its corporate governance and aligning its structure with its long-term growth objectives in Europe.

The SE conversions promote greater operational efficiency and provide more flexibility to better serve N26's growing customer base in the European markets.

Martin Schaper's team has already advised N26 on the change of legal form from a GmbH to a German AG and other corporate law matters.
