  • Replacement of Travel Cards

@Heiko-Hartwig#111083 Wenn jetzt noch Apple Pay irgendwann damit ginge....
Ich glaube ja nicht mehr dran, dass das bis morgen was wird.

    Haven't received a mail yet, but I'm sure I will receive it soon :)

      @Roeshimi#111085 Ich glaube ja nicht mehr dran, dass das bis morgen was wird.

      Stimmt! Das wird spannend.

        Haven't received an email, either, but the new card now shows up in the app. I did not have to do anything besides keeping the app updated. You might want to check there, too.

          Ich habe keine Mail erhalten und auch keine neuen Einträge in der aktuellen App. Bisher kam nur die Ankündigungsmail dass die Karte ausgetauscht wird.

            Ich habe eine E-Mail bekommen, dass meine neue Travel-Karte bald geliefert wird. In der App steht 07.08 als Lieferungstag.

              @Wiktor-Lime-Jaguar#111146 Same date here... although I expect it to arrive sooner.

              Didn’t had any problems though on my holiday in Greece with my current card.

                Just received this push. Looks like it’s actually shipped now

                  @Roeshimi#111152 That's nice, but than I wonder why some people haven't even received the second mail or the new card in the app. Wouldn't it be easier to do everyone at once?

                    I also have received a push message that a new card will be send.

                    I am curious to know what values to expect when checking the current card on binlist.net? Because for the current card it states that it is a MasterCard credit card from the Netherlands which would be correct (so I wasn’t expecting a replacement).

                    Although I am pleased that bunq goes the extra mile to make sure the card acceptance is what it set out to be.

                      @Jos-Golden-Unicorn#111153 Maybe those people are not affected by the problem? bunq said they would replace the first batch of cards.

                        @Roeshimi#111155 Yeah, but I have received the first mail saying it will be replaced, but no information after that.

                          @Roel-Turquoise-Panda#111154 You can actually check it, the new card number is available with for the replacement card. Binlist says it's a Dutch Card. When trying to do a top-up in bunq using the replacement card, it is no longer a Russian card, but is seen as a Chase card (so USA).

                            @Hemmik#111157 That’s smart! Will check the differences between the current and new number!

                              @Roel-Turquoise-Panda#111154 I don't expect you will see any difference on binlist.net specifically. The original cards showed up as Russian there initially, but that was soon changed to show your actual country of ordering the card, e.g. Netherlands. The old cards start with "522319" and the new ones seem to start with "511580".

                                Got the push notification and a few minutes later the mail.

                                New number indeed starts with 5112 8002, which shows up on BinList as a Dutch Mastercard credit card, yet no bank details are known.

                                  Strange... when I put my old Travel Card number through BinList is does show up as a Dutch card too when I enter more than the first six digits, like 5223 1902 0064 9.

                                  When I limit the digits to just the 5223 19-part, it shows up as a Russian Platinum card, which is less fancy for the Russian part, but more fancy for the platinum part...

                                  This Bin-witchcraft starts to intrigue the mind....

                                    @vampjon#111161 Same here:

                                    When entering the first 6 digits from the old card binlist returns Russian as origin country. 8 digits from the old card and Netherlands is showing.

                                    For the new card the first 6 digits don’t show country at all and 8 digits shows Netherlands as origin country.

                                      @Roel-Turquoise-Panda#111180 Yes, I suppose to determine the country up to 8 digits can be required. All bunq cards seem to have the 7/8th digits unique per country e.g. "02" for NL, "03" = DE, "04" = AT, "05" = ES, "06" = IT, "07" = FR, "08" = IE, "09" = BE.
