  • Make bunq.me a 'tikkie beter' again by adding an Apple Pay payment option

It's sad that bunq.me doesn't see more love. I love the feature so much, especially since they introduced multiple links! Sofort and IDEAL isn't even an option for all bunq countries :/ so depending on where you live, you can't really use bunq.me at all.

    Nour changed the title to Make bunq.me a 'tikkie beter' again by adding an Apple Pay payment option.

      What a great update we had yesterday! Now we can also pay a request by credit card so we're do close ๐Ÿค๐Ÿป to have Apple Pay too in the future.

        Update 13 really improved bunq.me but still, Apple Pay would make it a lot easier to pay. Also the Limit of 10โ‚ฌ for card payments seems to restrict it for a lot of personal use cases.

        I think Apple Pay wonโ€™t be available as long as it costs the user an additional percentage to pay with Apple Pay (I think Apple doesnโ€™t allow this...). It would be great for buns to count these requests towards your free 500โ‚ฌ top up limit or give you the option to pay the fees instead.

          Hey Jonas, ๐Ÿ‘‹

          Rest assured we're working on an Apple Pay option for bunq.me as well.

          As soon as it's available, we'll update together and let you know! ๐ŸŒˆ

          Thanks a lot!

            Would be awesome to see this together with G Pay! G Pay for online payments is available in much more countries (including NL) :)

              Huh, look at that, Bunq talking about upcoming features, Iโ€™ll be damned. Quite refreshing, I must say. I like it.

                well it was partially launched during the update already. The new blogs and API docs already mentioned the Apple Pay ability. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

                  Bunq update 13 is great. Iโ€™m so pleased that last but not least, after years of request (the first thread on the issue was started by a bunq user 2 years ago) Bunq.me now accept credit card payements since Bunq 13 update ๐Ÿ‘

                    Hi ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

                    It's now possible to pay bunq.me links with Apple Pay. ๐ŸŽ‰

                      Oh thatโ€™s nice! Gonna test straight away if this means itโ€™s very easy to let Americans pay a request without all kinds of problems, costs and routing issues :)

                          If it does I can replace all BuyMeACoffee links on my projects with bunq.me links.

                            Why should Apple Pay availability change something about the card region restrictions? Pretty sure it's still only European Visa and Mastercards that are accepted, albeit now also through Apple Pay.

                              I just tested this. Unfortunately it doesn't. Which is very strange to me, a payment is a payment. This would be the way to avoid the USD->EUR processing problem, you can simply let them pay with Apple Pay and the issuing bank will convert it to EUR on the sender side - not your problem. Bunq, however, completely blocked cards outside of the EU. Very strange move and for me that instantly makes it useless. :(

                              Oh well, maybe in the future they'll fix it.
