What happened
Digital bank N26 became the first bank in Germany to offer mobile plans, launching N26 SIM — eSIM-only plans on Vodafone Germany's 5G network, delivered with connectivity partner 1GLOBAL and activated entirely inside the N26 app.
Why it matters
Europe's neobanks are following Nubank into wireless. eSIM plus MVNE partners like 1GLOBAL let a bank add connectivity as an in-app feature rather than a separate business.
