Additional questions about bunq Travel Card

Manou-Red-Panda

Is er een vorm van verzekeren / verzekering bij het aanschaffen van een Travel Card?

JeroenE

Manou Nee, die is er niet.

Diego Weis jemand ob das Problem mit der russischen BIN gelöst ist?
Wird die Karte jetzt als NL erkannt?

DaveFlash

Diego it should be fixed yes, but some databases might take a while to receive an update, also, assuming you’re German, your card will also be German 🇩🇪 like all the others, as it will be an Italian card for say bunq🌈 users in Italy 🇮🇹. Or for Dutchies like me, it will be Dutch. 🇳🇱

Diego Habe heute mit dem Support Kontakt gehabt. Er konnte es mir nicht beantworten, meine Frage wurde allerdings zu der Abteilung weitergeleitet und ich werde informiert ✌🏼😃

Ich glaube noch nicht

DaveFlash The two sites I have queried still say "Russian Federation". Looks a lot like we have to wait until the end of the month, as this was the announced support date for Apple Pay and this relies on the card being recognized properly

Eru

DaveFlash Stimmt. Bei mir müsste es dann deutsch sein.

DaveFlash

Roeshimi if they are free sites like binlist.net or so, they most likely have to wait for mastercard or other financial institutions to release public lists, and those are always a couple (say 2 to 6) months behind the actual live lists that are on the systems of payment processors and mastercard themselves. also binlist.net only scrapes already publicly available card number batches (those that have already been used online or in retail various times and at multiple points in time) and does not get any information from mastercard itself direclty when or even if banks issue new cards/numbers.

DaveFlash they most likely have to wait for mastercard or other financial institutions to release public lists

They aren't available publicly but as a paid product from Mastercard (which, it is safe to assume does not entail redistribution rights).

DaveFlash

NiB Ah yes, i also referred to that by stating that they most likely have to make do with public information scraped from webshops and the like.

Um diese Frage zu beantworten, braucht man sich eigentlich nur die heutigen Posts durchzulesen.

Heiko Hartwig Ich habe auch nicht nur gefragt ob es aktuell so ist, sondern wie weit man mit dem Fortschritt ist 😉 das liebe ich an bunq, dass man als Kunde wirklich ernst genommen wird. ❤️

Is there any update when Apple Pay will be available for the travel card? The faq states end of July. And that is now. 😃

Sander

Remco 🇪🇺 check above, I don’t see any message from bunq, so no, there are no updates. 😉🙃

Remco 🇪🇺 And that is now. 😃

No, it is not. Very literally “end of July” is July 31st at 23:59:59, but hey, who’s counting. 🙈 Just be patient, it will be here when it is here and bunq will update us when there’s something to update us about. Everyone asking every day won’t speed it up. 👍😁🌈

Remco 🇪🇺
In addition: you will only have Apple Pay for the TC if you live in a country where Apple Pay is supported (the country and bunq itself).
So if you are from Holland you won't have Apple Pay with the TC.

Bob137

Sander Oh! That’s quite pedantic. Why did you choose to count time on second increments? Why not Femtoseconds? That is much more accurate!?! 🤣

Bob137

Heiko Hartwig I do live in one of those countries.

Sander

Remco 🇪🇺 whatever floats your boat. I think you get my message. It’s just the 22nd of July, bunq communicated that Apple Pay for the Travelcard is expected to be launched “late July”, we’re not even in the last week of July yet. When it’s not there on the 31st we have a reason to ask bunq for a clarification. 😁👍 So let them spend their precious time on actual development instead of answering questions like “is it there yet”, “when will it be there”, etc. 😁🌈

Fernand-Orange-Bear

Is it possible to have money send back to this card? This isn't possible with the old debit card.

Sander

Fernand transactions can be refunded or in Dutch we have "Retourpinnen" (inverse of a card payment). That will work. You can not transfer money to the creditcard number.
