Berlin, Germany -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/27/2021 -- The past year has been a difficult time for those in the financial services industry. Even burgeoning areas such as fintech have faced challenges. Germany's N26 digital bank is one of those that has had to remain flexible in the face of change as the year has continued. Almost two and a half years ago N26 launched its operations in America but as of November this year the digital bank announced that it was scaling back and shutting down its base in the US. There are currently 500,000 N26 customers in America and, as of January 2022, those customers will no longer be able to access the digital bank's app. At its most recent funding round, N26 - which is based in Berlin - was valued at $9 billion. Nevertheless, the bank's exit from the US follows on from it leaving the UK market earlier this year, something that N26 blamed on Brexit.
