Hi Fez! They will only ship the card to the countries I listed in the article, however you are technically allowed to _have_ an account. Anyone resident in the EU/EEA is.
When opening the account you should have an address in one of the countries where they operate, i.e. Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Slovakia, Greece, France, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia or Slovenia.
Maybe you have some friends in one of those countries that will let you "live" with them for a bit? 😉
And yes, N26 is part of the SEPA network and all their bank transfers are SEPA transfers. To do non-SEPA transfers you can use their Transferwise integration.
