“When it comes to digital banks, bunq definitely stands out with their different perks offered. bunq offers four different plans, and one of them is really free. I was using that free plan to get accustomed to their features and just recently chose bunq Pro, and I don't have any regrets.”
“It’s a balanced digital bank for saving and spending. I can’t say that they have better rates, but they offer more flexibility to withdraw your money and more transparency that ordinary banks lack. And in fact the deposit is well protected by the Dutch government, unless you have millions of euros.”
“I dont think theres much at fault can be found here. For savings, investings, and everyday banking, its pretty great. The interest rate is NOT 1.5% or whatever, its 3.01% during the bonus time (which every new client gets), and its paid weekly, one of the best interest rates in EU right now, at no risk, since its backed by ECB and Netherland government.
Main drawback is that some features are in paid plans, but full interest rate and full UI is not, its there on free plan as well.”
“For 2 years I’ve been hesitant to start banking with bunq, until I made sure that it’s a safe option. Well, I lost something… Banking could be much more effective than saving, if I was bolder. Simply, all transactions that you can do at a physical bank were in the app with not bad fees. Plus, investing and saving accounts with sweet rates.”
“Not bad bank, but some thing threw me off in the beginning. but i used it anyway after trrial and i got used to it. Now i think it has more things i can appreciate as a user than critize, so I,m on pro plan.”
“Well designed app and well thought features and tools. They literally have thought of everything. The tricount feature for example is impressive how they come up with. It makes those trips with your group of friends hassle free. In the end all the accounts are getting even and you know to whom you owe, or who needs to transfer you funds. And the app is a super easy to use. As i said, good and clean design, which makes the whole banking thing a bit easier than it is with any old bank”
“switched to bunq last year. it was the best decision on my life. some of the conventional banks here are very slow and I always needed to visit the office with paper tickets and whatnot. such a hassle”
“Okay, here are my impression after three months on bunq:
Opening an account was truly a quick and simple process, including the verification of the documents. No issues here.
The app is clean, easy to use, has some logical orders and even tho is packed with features it’s still easy to navigate
Banking plans are well-designed, but choosing the best fit demands some work.
Customer support is reliable. I have contacted them two times and in both cases i got quick and useful response”
“Ive been usin bunq elite for a while now and its become one of those apps I use almost every day without thinking about it. Most useful is that i can keep different expenses separate - I have different accounts for everyday spending, bills, travel, my savings - makes it much easier for me to keep track of where my money is going.”
“One thing that's in the past is a strong community I remember people used to talk more. But now the help is not from others but from the Finn. It's a good companion capable of doing many things. It even covers support, to some extent.”

“think if you are an expat, you definitely need to have an account with Bunq. Especially check special features on Pro and Elite plan. On Elite you even have a travel insurance. Also, there are perks like eSIM card, which is very convenient. I myself travel often, and I really like features from here: flexible foreign exchange rates and easy money transfers”
“Got introduced into this neobank thanks to my colleague. We had a small talk during coffee break, and he was using Bunq. I got interested and did my research, and here I am. I'm already a Bunq customer, and I chose the Core plan”
“After a few months of using this neo bank, their claims of “bank for free” aren’t far from reality. I mean I managed to spend less time on some banking transactions at least. In particular, money transfers abroad and around the EU. It took some time with my previous apps and physical bank branches, but now it’s just history. A few clicks, a few docs filled, and money is on the way, while I can focus on other tasks.
Though you should know that the app has its own learning curve. Tons of features = some time to understand what to click to make it work.”
