N26 achieved €1.6m net profitability in 2025 after a €42m loss in 2024, following founder ouster and multiple BaFin regulatory sanctions on compliance and lending controls. The neobank is prioritizing regulatory remediation and AI-driven product expansion under new CEO Mike Dargan.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech and Banking Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

N26's path to profitability despite regulatory caps demonstrates that neobanks can survive and scale under stricter compliance regimes—critical signal for founders navigating fintech regulatory tightening across Europe.
