The title compound, [N(CH2CH2NH3)3]Br3, is a salt of a triprotonated tetr­amine. The tertiary amine N atom sits on a threefold axis, as do the three bromide anions. Each of the primary amines is protonated, while the tertiary amine is not protonated. The compound is isostructural with the chloride and the perchlorate analogs.
