Ask HN: Is anyone using the new online bank Number26?

I signed up and verified for a current account with Number26 today. They're a EU (in 6 countries) online-only, mobile-first bank:

I have to say I'm very impressed with this. I was able to sign up within 10 minutes and have an IBAN. This involved using the app to start a video call with a representative and take a picture of my password as well as verifying some information. I'm now waiting for my Mastercard to arrive.

Has anyone else set up and used an account day-to-day?

Are they available anywhere else but Germany?

I do not use it as my regular bank account. I only use it as a cheap (fee free) way to get cash from ATMs.
