  • bunq Update 12 features: additional questions

How can I change the category of bunq Premium? It‘s labeled as „General“ but I think „Finances“ or „Abonnements“ will fit better.

    "The only way is up" update makes people app crashes 😝 Jokes a side. I think the update was underwhelming as well, but have the question why the automatic receipt scanner is only for companies? I think it's a very cool function which could be very useful.

      @tmhrzgr#119792 this currently seems impossible. 🤔 But I would also think Subscriptions or Finances would fit better indeed. Let's hope we can categorize our bunq invoices soon as well. 🙂

        I don't seen to be able to be able to see my partners joint account on my spending categories graph!

          Nice update with some usefull features. Big the killer feature for real major impact on the market and fast growing user numbers would be national IBAN for each active market.

            @Sander#119781 Done, I started a new topic 👍🏻

              Warum gibt es eig. die Kategorie Versicherung nicht? Oder kann man eigene Kategorien erstellen?

                Hi everyone,

                We appreciate feedback, but to keep in line with our Community Guidelines, let's keep this thread on topic as a place to ask and help answer questions about the new Update 12 features.

                Thanks! 🚀

                  I really enjoyed yesterday's update but have a couple of remarks (bugs?) that I'd like to share:
                  1. I've experienced some slight issues when setting up Apple Pay. When I clicked either "Add" or the "+" in Apple Wallet I went into the bunq app, which then brought me to the "request new card" screen rather than the "select card" screen. I eventually managed to work around this by closing the app and closing Apple Wallet and then trying again.
                  2. I'm really keen about the expense categorisation so I started using it straightaway but I have noticed that the reclassification of payments does not have direct feedback for every payment. More specifically: my rent is currently marked as "General" but I have tried (multiple times) to classify it as "Household expense", but the app doesn't seem to process the request as it stays in the "General" category. For other payments (Lowlands festival tokens), which were classified as "Travel", I did manage to change the classification and they did move to my category of preference ("Entertainment"). However, I did have to reclassify all the payments separately.

                  I wonder if you're aware of this and if other people have experienced similar issues?

                  Cheers,
                  Job

                    @Job#120413 my rent is currently marked as "General"

                    Did you set that up as a recurring payment? Seems like these still have problems with categorizing.

                      @Jakob#120418 Yes, indeed.

                        Bei mir läuft das Update nicht sobald ich in meine Übersicht gehe stürzt die app ab auf meinem Galaxy S10 plus

                          I have a question or idea:

                          Possibility to create my own Insights Categories?

                            +1 to add categories for insights or have more to choose to show/hide to customise it to suit your own life.

                              For the future I would love to connect more than two bunq accounts to my card with pin codes. At the moment the maximum is two.

                              Four would be good for me. For example:
                              Account: Pin code:
                              - day to day = 0000
                              - fuel. = 0001
                              -groceries = 0002
                              - eating out = 0003

                              Thanks

                                Love the new update! Adding your own categories would be a real valuable addition. I also like the idea of having the account balance graph move along with the transaction list, as proposed above 👌

                                  It feels kinda bad that there isn't an "insurance" category so that you have to either book them as subscription (which I consider to be for optional, often pleasure related, recurring transactions) or as something like "personal care" or "household expenses" (I guess that makes the most sense at the moment?)

                                  Family should also be "& Friends" but I guess that's not as urgent of a problem

                                    How to desactivat Predict your balance. I don't like this feature

                                      Does anybody else experience the bug that you can't change the category of some of the expenses? I have two recurring payments that are always reverted to "General". I've also reported this to Support, however.

                                      Also, I desperately want to be able to switch this feature (and also the "Predict your balance" graph) off. I don't really want to use them. They rather increase the time I have to spend on banking - and until now, the good thing was that bunq was the bank account that didn't get in my way.

                                      Also, I must say this update for me was rather underwhelming. I expected a lot, but the only really cool feature which I would make use of everyday (receipt scanning) is only available for business users. bunq Update 12 seems to me more like a "let's-add-some-N26-and-Revolut-functions update". No big innovation this time.

                                      EDIT: Sorry, just saw that other people experience the categorization bug with recurring payments as well.

                                        Great update with nice new features!

                                        For the insights thing (with the donut): It would be nice if you can have that view per account. I have business and personal bankaccounts so a seperate overview would be welcome.

                                        The Auto-VAT feature is nice with deduction of tax for paid invoices but Auto-VAT still doesn't work for bunq.me payments. This is a known problem. See my earlier post:
                                        https://together.bunq.com/d/19040-tax-savings-don-t-work-with-bunq-me-payments

                                        The scanning feature is nice but I'm a bit dissapointed that it's another paid feature. 2€ sounds pretty okay but it all adds up (Business fee, transaction fees, paying for requests, auto VAT, SEPA payments etc).

                                        As for the scanning: It would be awesome if the scanned receipts / invoices are sent to other accounting platforms like moneybird, moneymonk etc. Now I need to scan my invoices in Bunq and send them to my accounting software (in my case Moneybird). Would that be possible with some API-magic? ;-)

                                        Just my €0,02.

                                        For the rest I'm very happy with update #12. Nice Job!
