Case Study: N26 achieves scalability, agility and faster financial planning with Workday Adaptive Planning

Supporting the Mobile Bank: scalability, agility and innovation at N26

N26 is a Berlin-based neobank founded in 2013 that now serves customers in 24 countries with over 1,200 employees and was named Forbes’ world’s best bank in 2021. Rapid growth exposed limits in its tech stack: multiple daily logins, heavy reliance on Excel, poor financial transparency and fragmented processes made it hard to scale, collaborate, and maintain the agility needed for a product-led digital bank.

N26 implemented Workday across Finance, HR and Planning to consolidate systems into a single platform, deliver real-time financial and workforce data, and enable end-user self-service. The change cut reliance on spreadsheets, improved cross-team collaboration, shortened the global month-end close to five days, increased productivity and user satisfaction, and freed teams to focus on customer-facing innovation.
