So they can promote their cool new services and products, many of our Business users have multiple trade names.
We’re excited to announce that we've made your bunq Business experience even better. Right when you leave the Chamber of Commerce building, you can instantly add your new trade name to your bunq account.
This new feature will help our Dutch Business send payments from their preferred trade name and ensure that your product is shown in the best way possible!
How do I add a trade name?
If you have a bunq Business account and your company is based in the Netherlands, you will be able to choose which trade name (registered at the KvK) you want to link to your sub-account. To make the process as easy as possible, we’ll automatically update the names from our side so you won’t even have to do anything!
Every trade name linked to a sub-account will come with a monthly fee of €2.99. Have a look at our pricing page for a complete overview of the costs related to your bunq account.
To see how to add a trade name when creating a new sub-account, follow the steps below:
- Open the bunq app
- Go to Home tab
- Tap on +Add account
- Press tab Sub-Account and follow the flow
- Tap on Settings

To see how to change the trade name linked to an existing sub-account, follow the steps below:

Can I add a new trade name to my list in the bunq app?
If you would like to link another trade name to one of your sub-accounts, you will first need to register it at the Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van koophandel) before it will appear as an option in the app. Depending on the processing time from their side, this can take up to a few days.
In order to change the trade name linked to an existing sub-account follow this easy process:
- Open the bunq app
- Go to Home
- Tap on the account in question
- Tap on Settings
- Tap on Trade Name
- Enable Trade Name feature
- Select which trade name you want to link to the sub-account
How long does it take for other banks to see the updated trade name?
We synchronize the trade names linked to your sub-accounts twice a day! Although we’re quick, other banks can take up to 30 days to synchronize the new trade names. If they send you a message saying they can’t verify your trade name(s) yet, this is the reason. Once your trade name is synchronized from their side you’re good to go.
