Currently, N26 provides its services across 17 European nations.
Stalf said: “We will enter the British market this year and expect the market there to be of similar importance to us as France.”
The bank is planning to partner with another financial services firm to foray into the US market, where its banking licence is not valid, Reuters reported.
Stalf also said that the company will not venture in the Chinese market where the mobile payments market is already developed.
