Additional questions about bunq Travel Card

PP

@Sander#96883 the free plan has been fully removed a downgrade to free is impossible a bit lack communication of bunq without any notice, it’s only possible to switch between pack , premium , travel , joint.

Sander

@PP#96905 we've received mixed info on this point, it seems removed completely indeed, but in this topic it mentions this applies to when you've switched to the Travel plan. Anyway, we're trying to figure it out and will let you know as soon as we get an answer. 😁

@Sander#96907 I have my fingers crossed for a mixup and the Travel Plan is actually the Free Plan + Travel Card 🤞

I won’t be switching from Premium, but it would be the killer setup to get people over from competitors 👍

So if I understand correctly I can switch to a free membership with a travel card, so I’ll keep my account and get a card for a one time fee?

@R#96912 Hi 👋🏼 Rene, you unfortunately can't revert to Free since it isn't an existing membership anymore.

R

@JohnDo#96913 It now says that ‘travel pack’ is a membership though. It says it’s free but I only have to pay a one time fee for the card.

Sorry for the spam. Just am kinda confused by the new memberships and I find together not very clear anymore with regards to these kinds of announcements.

@R#96914 Sorry Rene, I misunderstood you. Yes, you are right. When you change to Travel Card 💳 membership.. you don't have a monthly fee and yes you have a card 💳.

But keep in mind that Travel Card membership isn't a regular bank account like all the other memberships. To put it simple, you will have a card 💳 you can add money to. That's it. A cool card 💳 tho.

R

Ahh fair enough, seemed to good to be true to have a free account with card ;). It’s a good move to cancel the free subscription, as bunq can focus more on their premium members now :)

If I only have a bunq travel card is my money still protected by the Dutch Deposit Guarantee Scheme?

@joaojoliveira#96921 Hi 👋🏼 Joao,
good question! I would think it does. But this a pending question we as mods asked bunq. So as soon as we have an answer, we will let our fellow bunqers 🌈 know 👊

@Jose-Orange-Bear-1362079935#96887 @PP#96905 I received an answer from a Product owner at bunq. The Free plan is discontinued completely. This applies to all users. Only those that are already on Free can keep using it. But there is no way to go back to Free once you leave that plan by upgrading to some other plan. Let's us know in case anything else is unclear, we will make sure to address it at bunq's side. 🙂👍

Thanks for the info.

Als ik switch naar Travel Card en dus maar 1 IBAN behoud, blijven de automatische afschrijvingen die ik daarop heb ingesteld en al maanden lopen wel doorgaan?

Vorrei solo capire se associato al piano Travel si riceve anche un unico IBAN come nel piano Free.

Tim

Hi 👋 @MMNCS#97002

Er is geen IBAN inbegrepen bij het Travel card membership. Je hebt alleen een pas waar je geld op kunt storten en mee kunt betalen.

Tim

Hi 👋 @Stefano-Lime-Lion#97006

No, it's just a card. There are no bank accounts (IBAN) included. If you wish to use bunq as a bank account you can check Premium, Joint or Pack.

Ma si può ricaricare la carta con le stesse modalità con cui si ricarica un conto Bunq qualsiasi? Tipo iDeal o Sofort, ecc?

Tim

@Stefano-Lime-Lion#97009 Yes you have multiple choices for depositing to your card.

iDEAL
SOFORT
Bank transfer
Credit/Debit card
