Rationale
N26 is a strong competitor as it offers a comprehensive mobile banking experience with many features aligning with Cash App's offerings. It explicitly mentions instant transfers (P2P), a virtual Mastercard (prepaid debit card), savings accounts with interest, round-up savings, and investment features including stocks and ETFs. While it doesn't explicitly state 'early direct deposit' or 'bitcoin trading' in the provided content, its core banking and investment features are very similar. The app also highlights security features and customizable card designs.
