      I am writing to formally file a complaint against N26 Bank regarding the sudden and unexplained closure of my account and their lack of response regarding the return of my funds.On [insert date of account closure], ********************** Bank closed my account without providing any explanation or prior notice. Following this action, I was instructed by the bank to provide an **** in order to receive a refund of my remaining account balance. I promptly provided the requested information, yet I have not received any further communication or updates from N26 for the past six days.Despite multiple attempts to contact their support team, I have received no response or acknowledgment. This lack of transparency and communication is unacceptable, and I am extremely concerned about the status of my funds.I respectfully request the BBBs assistance in resolving this matter. I would like N26 to:Provide a clear explanation for the closure of my account.Immediately process the return of my funds to the **** I provided.Improve their customer support response times and communication.I can provide additional documentation or communication records if needed.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance.Sincerely,

      I had an account with N26. They closed the account and informed that I would receive a check in the mail with the remaining balance. I received the check which was dated on 9/14/2021. The check is now void because it's been over 90 days and I've been trying to contact them to have them issue me a new check. The current check I have is out of date.

      N26 bank in ******* is keeping my money for over 40 days. I got in touch several times but it seems they just dont care. I have already sent all proof of my funds, all documents asked by them, but it seems they are just playing with me. Do you know how much I lost without my finances ? There is no reason to suddenly get all these accounts closed and dont return it to their owners. I haven't seen this situation in all my life.They aren't respectful as they don't reply within a reasonable period of time to their customers. They only get back to us when they want. After several emails, they returned to me only twice saying they won't give my money back as I did not follow the terms and conditions of my account. I cannot imagine who read all the small letters in the documents to open an account. And if I did something that it was not in the terms of use, at least they would need to let me know what I did. And why my documents were not accepted. They only tell me that it won't be possible to release my money and that I need to contact ***** ****************************************** But what I did? Why all this people did that they are freezing all these accounts?If have the same issue, pls contact me under the email: carlavanessamonteirodebarros at outlook doc com Leave your review in the page below and lets make them to hear us!On ******** look for: Dont open an account with n26 bank
