Can I add a new trade name to my list in the bunq app?

Austrian, Belgian, Dutch, French, German, Irish, Italian, and Spanish users can link another trade name to one of their Bank Accounts by reaching out to us through our Support Centre. Our team will handle the request for you 🚀

Please note that a trade name can be changed for any Bank Account only if relevant documentation with the new registered trade name is provided to us.

For example, Dutch users need to submit their request with the new trade name registered at the Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van koophandel). German users need to submit their request with either a Gewerbeanmeldung or a Chamber of Commerce excerpt.

How long does it take for other banks to see the updated trade name?

We synchronize the trade names linked to your Bank Accounts twice a day! While we're quick, other banks may take up to 30 days to synchronize the new trade names. If they notify you that they can't verify your trade name(s) yet, that's why. Once the synchronization is complete on their side, you're all set to go.
