René the reason is that the Travelcard doesn't support apple pay yet. bunq is working on that. Apparently it's harder to get it to work for this special card. It will be avaliable as soon as possible. 🙂
Sander Awesome, thanks! Debit card it is for now then :)
Ciao a tutti. Posso ordinare una Bunq travel card per mio figlio minorenne e gestire io le ricariche e il blocco/sblocco? Grazie.
Raul Does the travel card has the same design as the others, because it the pictures it looks to be a different material, i think that because of the reflections
Idris🇳🇱🇬🇧 The travel card is a bit different. It’s more ‘shiny’ than the other cards. That’s probably also the difference you see in the pictures.
Amber 🇳🇱🇬🇧 Alright thanks! I ordered it, can't wait to see it for my self😃
Ich habe über Sixt einen Mietwagen gebucht. Die Kaution wurde nicht geblockt sondern von meinem Konto eingezogen. Nach mehrmaligen Kontakt mit dem Support von bunq habe ich die Kaution nach mehr als einem Monat erstattet bekommen. So bringt mir die Travel-Card leider keine Vorteile.

Die Vorteile sind ja auch nicht so gravierend - lediglich dass die Karte vom Typ "Credit" ist bringt ggf. Vorteile hinsichtlich der Kartenakzeptanz. Allerdings hätte Sixt ja wie in Deinem Fall die Kaution am Ende auch freigeben müssen - und hierbei scheint es ja dann Probleme gegeben zu haben.

How does the bunq Travel Card work with deposits? If you want to use your bunq Travel Card for a deposit, such as for a rental car or hotel room, the merchant will accept your card just like they would a traditional credit card. Since no credit is used when making the payment, the entire retainer of the deposit will be deducted directly from your account at the time of purchase. This means you need to have the available funds in your account when paying the deposit. Once the deposit is released, you will then receive the funds back in your account and you won't risk having a negative balance or falling into debt.

Heiko Hartwig Es lang an bunq. Sixt hatte das Geld bereits freigegeben. Aber nun hat sich alles erledigt und Danke für die weiteren Infos.
nurdersven OK, danke für die Info.
Can I receive a credit/travel card abroad? I’m traveling already and want to order a new card to use here. Tks!
Ju Buosi during the order process you can select any country, but I vaguely remember that cards are only shipped within the EU (or EEA?). I can't seem to find the post though, so maybe I'm mistaken. Anyway, I strongly recommend against sending your card to another address than your home address: bunq is dependent on local mail services, and based on various topics here it sometimes takes multiple weeks before cards arrive due to slowness in the system of the local mail services. Unless you are staying for a long time on the same place then I'd not send it to your holiday address to avoid missing its delivery. 🙂
Dus de bunq travel card kan je niet gebruiken bij de Albert Heijn, maar kan je dat wel middels Apple Pay voor de Travel Card?

Apple Pay is niets meer dan een portemonnee voor virtuele kopieën van je pas. Als je de Travel Card zal toevoegen en dat is een Mastercard, wordt die dus ook via Apple Pay als dusdanig herkend.
Does not seem to include iDEAL which was the reason to move from a German bank account I was happy with. But iDEAL is stated on website
Graham ideal is included in the paid plans. You can read this in the terms for the Travelcard Membership.
Die Travelcard wird online von DHL abgelehnt. Wollte heute 2 Pakete online frankieren und die Karte wurde in beiden Fällen abgelehnt. Mit der Debit Karte hat es funktioniert.
Posso fare bonifici con la travel card? Se ho capito bene penso di no, visto che devo fare anche dei bonifici come posso fare?
Nino A bank account is only included in the various Premium memberships. (Including bank transfers, Sofort, iDeal, and much more.)
The Travel Card membership indeed is just a Mastercard, nothing else.
Hi, just that I was not informed of this change, my account was created well before this change.
