Add multiple/custom/more categories to payment

lucasilverentand

Hi bunq,

First of all I have to complement you guys on the amazing features you launched tonight during the update!

Secondly I would like to have the ability to assign multiple categories to payments. And maybe the ability to add custom categories to it would make it even better.

For instance I would like to be able to assign the loans I pay to employees to be assigned to a custom category called “loans”.

Kind regards,

Luca

Luca Silverentand I would like one that is called charity as well. A loan that I don’t expect to get back, but can deduct from taxes.

Luca Silverentand I am really missing a category where I can add expenses from my pets! 🐶

Luca Silverentand I don‘t know how multiple categories should work with budgets. One way would be hierarchical categories so one can set a budget for a parent category but have a more detailed view in the spending insights. That should solve most problems.

Luca Silverentand Categories were improved in recent updates (there are more of them now), but a fundamental problem hasn’t been fixed yet. When categorizing a payment, one accidental tap on “All similar payments” means going through months of payments to fix the bullsh** the algorithm does. There still is no way to set rules à la “If payment to $LOCALSUPERMARKET assign category <Groceries>” or similar. Every time I do a payment I have to check if the category has been detected correctly. Quite often, it is not. And that amount of manual labor is just frustrating. If there is a way to sort incoming payments, why is there no way to “sort” outgoing payments?

Nice idea, it would be nice to add multiple (custom) tags/categories to payments.

Marcel

Would love that and then I will be able to kill my spreadsheet I now have dor budgeting

RICKERINO

Maybe it‘s possible to have sub-categories as well. Love the category-feature at Outbank because they have a very rich and deep selection.

Tom 🇩🇪🇪🇺 Hadn’t even thought of that! Great idea 💡

Tom 🇩🇪🇪🇺 I would love to have sub-categories! Especially for household expenses, like furniture, decorations etc.

Adding this could make this amazing feature even better!

I miss the categories:
- Sports (or hobbies)
- Charity (or donations)

Would be nice if Bunq could add them, or I could add them myself as custom categories.

Taco +1 for Charity

But custom categories would be better, as I'd like to also tag ANBI donations. That would be useful for the yearly tax report.

Taco +1 for charity!

Taco Yes!

I didn't understand why they released this feature with at least support for custom categories. People will start categorizing their payments now and then realise the chart l is off because it doesn't fit their spending patterns. Absolute must if you want to support categorizing

Ane-Indigo-Unicorn

I think adjustable categories, with an option to add as many as you want (let bunq regulate the colour schemes in order to have nice fancy pie charts), would be the solution to serve the many. For instance when you don’t have a car you don’t need to have that specific categorie.

Definitely custom categories and split expenses in multiple categories is a must.. this update is a great beginning and a feature I was waiting for -well done Bunq!

Hi Bunq, great feature but I agree: custom categories is a must!
Kind regards, H@rro

Ik mis de categorie "sparen" voor al m'n pinsparen en overboekingen naar m'n spaarrekeningen

Sander-Magenta-Starfish

Ik mis eigenlijk best wel wat categoriën.. Ik denk dat het iets specifieker mag! Als je echt wilt weten hoe je kan besparen en waarop zul je echt categoriën nodig hebben als:

-Cadeau's
-Sport
-Verzekeringen
-Woonkosten (staat wel zoiets maar omschrijving is beetje vaag)

Ik krijg de indruk dat de functie meer bedoeld is voor kosten juist naast je vaste lasten enzo, maar als je het in het geheel wilt kunnen beoordelen moet je die kosten wel categoriseren.

I would love to be able to rename the car category to Public transportations! :)

mvmaastricht

Paul-Vincent The category ‘Travel’ covers that for me.

Marcel

Ik zou graag al mijn zorgkosten in 1 categorie hebben, zowel de premies van de ziektekostenverzekering als de eigen kosten als tandartsrekeningen en eigen bijdrage. Dit helpt om ieder jaar in december te bepalen welke verzekeringen ik afsluit

Andreas-Turquoise-Akita

Inisghts is een fantastische optie. Wat ik nog wel mis is het maken van eigen categorieën. Er zijn eenvoudigweg uitgaven die niet onder de standaard categorieën passen. Iets voor de volgende update wellicht?

Erik-Together

Categorieën is echt een mooie toevoeging 👍🏻!

Het zou ook mooi zijn dat je binnen een categorie per betaling kunt aangeven of het vaste kosten of variabele kosten zijn. Dit in plaats van een losse categorie “vaste kosten”.

Bijvoorbeeld autokosten, hier heb je belasting en verzekering als vaste kosten, maar benzine als variabele kosten.
