Stalf, who established N26 with the company’s other current co-CEO Maximilian Tayenthal in 2013, will take up a new role on the company’s supervisory board after a six-month transition period.
In a post on LinkedIn last month, Stalf described the move as a “forward-looking decision to continue to best utilise my many years of experience and knowledge to strengthen N26”.
Mosen, who officially joined N26’s management board on 1 September 2025, has served as chairman of the digital bank’s supervisory board since October 2022. He brings vast leadership experience, including a stint as CEO of payment service provider Concardis.
The challenger’s management board now features co-CEOs Mosen and Tayenthal alongside chief financial officer Arnd Schwierholz. In December 2025, they will be joined by Santander executive Jochen Klöpper, who will assume the position of chief risk officer.
N26 has also proposed industry veteran Andreas Dombret to succeed Mosen as chairman of the supervisory board. Dombret’s extensive career includes roles as managing director at JP Morgan, policy advisor at Amazon Web Services, and his current membership on Santander’s international advisory board.
Dombret’s appointment will be formalised at an extraordinary general meeting in early October. In the interim period, Peter Kleinschmidt, who chairs N26’s risk and audit committee, will serve as chairman of the supervisory board.
