“when it comes to some cool fintechs like Bunq, which is also a digital bank, I had some suspicions. But as per my colleague's recommendations, gave it a chance - made my research, and I realized that it's quite transparent. It even publishes its annual reports. I checked and found out that they increased a LOT their profitability, so it's a decent , profitable, expanding neobank.”
“Oltre all'app che funziona in molti paesi e ovunque in Europa c'erano altri vantaggi interessanti. Il mio preferito sono i dati esim gratuiti. Per iniziare, ottima cosa”
“mijn collega's op het werk zeiden dat ik me moest aanmelden bij bunq...
Ik aarzelde eerst, deed mijn due diligence en opende toen pas een rekening.
Nou, bunq core gekozen... wat spaarrekeningen betreft - niets spectaculairs, gemiddeld %.
Maar andere functies zijn leuk. aandelen en crypto, buitenlandse IBANs - die zijn cool
Ngl, het was een goede beslissing om bunq te kiezen”
“Used my bunq card all over Southeast Asia last summer and saved a fortune. I'm getting 0.5%-1.5% better exhcanges, on aveerage (depending if its baht or other currency). Works best for lira and baht, in my experience.
Pretty essential tool for digital nomads, because they spend a lot. But for anyone who travels out of the Eurozone often, its still worth, even worth paying a sub probably.”
“Downloaded the app from Google Play and honestly I'm impressed. My previous bank's app was crashing all the time, while Bunq runs smoothly. You can tell professonal developers built it - for sure....
also, it aitn just bnaking app, it is full fintecth company, here it it nost just boring deposit earning, but actually whoe ecosystem that has : investing option, eSim offering, travel insurance,foreign IBANs, special flexible foreign exchnage rates, money transfer ....and more and more, fr, worthy neobank”
“I liopening a bunq account and processing verification was quite smooth. I didn’t struggle with bureaucracy here, all it takes is uploading a few documents, and you get a free bunq elite subscription.”
“solid neobank, not new but I like that its being updated regularly, and has many unique features...
compliance checks, sligthly aggressive. My account faced a sudden review lock after a larger transfer, than I usually do.
It was resolved though, in 2 days. So no hard feelings for now.”
“The bunq features are so useful when you are constantly moving between countries. I work online, so I love to travel around the world a lot, and I guess bunq is the best option for it. The app automatically applies the official spot exchange rate on all of international transactions, meaning I never get hit by unexpected retail conversion fees while abroad. The subscription plans are a bit expensive btw, but they worth it...”
“Choosing the right plan is the toughest challenge. Hard to switch to free and core plans after trying out everything on Elite. But I don’t think elite is much better than pro, unless you need some extra discounts on investing fees and foreign transfers, or just want travel insurance, which is not deficit much. Long story short, for now I’m with a pro.
Worth its money actually…”
“Their priority sup is not bad at all. Another perk of pro subscription to get faster assistance. The key word is “faster”, not “fast”. It still can’t match with some offline bank call centers.”
“honestly, i open bunq as a second account and ended up here as a l;oyal customer.
THE most impressive thing about them is all operations go through online without much paperwork. I’m glad that I renewed bunq elite subscription.”
“Started recently, and setting up my acc was easy, and i can note these poitns:
opening secondary accounts takes seconds
instant card funding works fine (i once made like 9-10 payment ina row, all done without visible delays)
balance updates show up without lag - the date gets loaded pretty fast
i started with the core, after readin their features - comfortable to start imho if you're just deciding still though others would say the free is just to start, but it feels a bit limited for afull exposure.”
“Bought a pair of Ray-Ban glasses using a virtual Bunq card. Payment was fine...would be nice to see special cashback for online shopping too..eem,,but yeah, kinda fine bank”
“It’s the place where I could figure out how to manage my money. I used to be a heavy spender, but now I have reconsidered my habits. What helped, is the automation of this bank. Budgeting services are directly linked to accounts and can be customized like you want. Salary sorter was unmatched when it came to reducing emotional impact.”
