How N26 Uses Writer to Scale Content Design and Cut Time Spent by 58%

N26 redesigned banking from scratch when it launched over a decade ago, and today serves millions of customers with a single-app financial platform across 24 European markets. Maintaining quality at that scale requires content that is consistent, compliant, accessible, and on-brand—across product UI, marketing, legal, and everything in between. The content design team, however, was small relative to the scope of requests coming in from across the organization.

The team was fully embedded in project squads, which meant they were doing high-value UX and strategic work—but they couldn’t be everywhere. Product designers, researchers, and marketers regularly needed content support that the team couldn’t always provide in time. Style guides existed but went unread. Inconsistency crept in. Content designers were pulled toward ad hoc proofreading at the expense of discovery and research work.

Content Design Lead Katie Louise Wright selected Writer after months of vendor evaluation, prioritizing security, data privacy, and compliance—non-negotiables for a licensed bank. Writer’s Figma plugin was the decisive feature: it brought the style guide into the tool where designers actually worked, so content guidance appeared in context during prototyping rather than as a separate document to check later. Writer was then expanded via Chrome extensions for email, the Knowledge Graph for research and test-result repositories, and AI apps for script writing, transcript analysis, and SQL assistance. Each team received a dedicated champion and use-case mapping sessions with Writer’s customer success team.

The results were measurable and spread organically. Time spent on content tasks fell by 58%. Employee confidence in writing increased by 50%. Seven distinct teams—including product, UX, legal, marketing, data analytics, and customer support—now use Writer as part of their regular workflows. Content designers freed from ad hoc work shifted toward strategic discovery: problem definition, competitor analysis, user research interviews, and key messaging architecture.

N26 is now building out the Writer Knowledge Graph as a searchable repository for UX insights, marketing research, and A/B test results—giving any team the ability to query the company’s accumulated research with natural language. The platform has moved from a single-team tool to a company-wide content operating system, with power users in multiple departments surfacing novel use cases that even the original implementation team hadn’t anticipated.
