“the new plans are fine, the core and pro especiallky,b but I still miss my early Easy Green plan,. I remember having it for so long... I was specifically into having them save the planet, eventually. Knowing a tree is planted for every €100 I spend made me feel better about living and spending. Hopefully they return this one day.”
“It’s built for more effective money management. I could feel it from the first day. arranging my spending into different money pots.
Pity some of these features won’t be available after trial…”
“Vergeleken met mijn vorige bank die maximaal een uitgavenrapport aanbood, liep bunq ver vooruit wat betreft het aantal functies. Ik kon sparen, budgetteren, investeren, mijn betalingen automatiseren en koppelen aan bepaalde datums, mijn kaarten en rekeningen personaliseren. Voor reizen was deze app nog beter. Rekeningen in lokale valuta, geweldige wisselkoersen, waardoor de organisatie van mijn vakanties minder zwaar was, natuurlijk vanuit bankperspectief en verrassend genoeg qua internetverbinding.
Naar mijn mening is het op zijn minst een must om daar een gratis proefversie te proberen. Alle genoemde dingen heb ik precies in deze fase geprobeerd”
“idk tbh. invoice scanning and salary sorter, I'm kinda skeptical why to make these features separate and kinda put so much emphasis. I would prioritize investmsents like stock and crypto to make fees even lower. Ideally, it has to be 0-fees investin...🤷♂️”
“I dont think its best overall bank, because it doesnt have any physical branches, and I dont see it on the corner of my street or anything... Its like it doesnt exist, exept on my phone. Its a weird feeling to me. But for the phone use, of course its the better one. Its fully built for mobile, and I like it whenever I go out, use it for daily payments, through NFC or Apple Card, the usage is just easy an d fast. It doesnt hhave phone support on the level of big ordinary banks, but it has support IN the phone, which is better.”
“fast payment only €0.70 cents good fee. but for my plan bunq core right now an I think for me crypto buy is good. because only 0.99% for each trade. in elite it's 0.25% lower but don't make too big difference for me now. because i don't buy for lots money, and i am ok with 1%.”
“Made ticket to human CS.... was waited more than several hours, but I got the email with a full explanation of how to solve my issue. It was basically about transactions to third parties.”
“Almost skipped bunq because of the complaints the company has received from users about the customer support. There are many, tbh. But decided to open acc since there was a trial period for testing. I even contacted the support, and got an answer immediately. Idk, so far it looks promising”
“Het concept van een neobank klonk leuk. Ze moeten werken aan de realisatie ervan en de beste start is door letterlijk alle functies gratis beschikbaar te maken… Bank of free uiteindelijk…”
“I opened an account in just one hour.
Not talking bout filling the forms and apply, i,m talking about having a bank card ready to use. Impressive speed and convenience”
“Nice bunq app, i think their IT team has put a lot of effort into creating a comfy interface.
As a client who has never used online banks before, I was able to navigate around there peacefully and without looking at guide instructions every hour...”
“This neo bank is what suited my lifestyle the best. Among other neo banks, bunq seemed to be more credible, being fully licensed and their saving accounts insured by deposit protection scheme. Overall, it’s all for what I like neo banking: smart budgeting tools, bank accounts in minutes, foreign banking.”
“Was on a trip with my girlfriend, and realised how perfect bunq can be for shared trip planning. Nobody had a way to collect group money, and pay for stuff. I just generated link in my bunq app, and my friends pitched in, and that was done -they paid through my QR code. I also set up a shared savings goal now for a group vacation, and we keep adding to it.”
“I agree its not perfect. Still probably the bestl tool for digital nomads, if you are leaving Eurozone frequently. In terms of money savings costs yes its decent 🤔”
“I have mixed feelings about bunq tbf. Some budgeting tools like spending insights, spending limits, money pots etc, are quite useful. Still, not every feature feels necessary for daily banking. sometimes think the app try to do too many things at once. It works fine overall, but I am not fully convinced by every update.”
“i don’t know why they give metal cards only to pro and elite plan users. It’s already quite pricey and at the same time, you need to pay a monthly subscription. To be fair, other features of paid plans make them worth their money. Salary sorter and a couple of free cash withdrawals alone can make a difference - Saving on fees, tracking spending habits”
