I like the initiative! Thank you for thinking (and acting!) about how to make the world a better place. There are good alternatives (plant trees yourself for example) but that doesn't mean that the extra trees through Bunq Green don't make an impact. Thank you for making that extra step that other banks don't. Thank you for providing an alternative.
I see many people complaining about the 99€ fee and thats also fair. But hey, they can spend those 99€ directly on trees if they want to. That's also a win.
I have two questions though:
- since it is a credit card: what does this mean for the shops where I buy my stuff? Do they pay more fees on my transaction?
- there is an example included in your FAQs about someone from Amsterdam paying 1000 Euro rent and the upside to that should be that they are also planting 10 tries. Since most rent is paid through bank transfers or direct debit: is that amount also included in the "tree targets"? Or only the amount you spend with the actual card in shops?
