[WISH] Extend Giropay🇩🇪 & Bancontact 🇧🇪 function in times of Corona/COVID—19 🦠

Berzan because of the costs of creditcards.

Tim Anthony Alexander not htat i know of, but most other big banks have a local branch in each country, bunq operates as a cross-border bank, thus they have a reason to support as many local payment methods as are needed.

DaveFlash Oh okay, I only know about banks with a German IBAN having the availability of giropay, girocards, etc... So having a German banking license would be good 😅

Tim Anthony Alexander Girocard and Giropay are two different things entirely, though. Giropay is just our iDEAL / Interac clone, and Girocard is a debit card network (that only works at POS). There is some kind of project going on to marry all of these together, but afaik as of right now they have nothing in common but the name.

Still, if a Dutch bank can even participate in Giropay is something I would doubt.

Jakob No, what I meant was, is that both systems are only present in the German system and therefore I don't think bunq will be able to provide giropay as a payment method, unless they get a German banking license or partner with a German bank...

DaveFlash

Tim Anthony Alexander No that is not needed, as Giropay is first and foremost a webshop payments solution, it’s available for any company or bank who sets up a joint partnership with giropay GmbH, just like they’ve done with Currence iDEAL B.V for iDEAL and with Klarna AB for both their SOFORT product and the bank connection based Klarna Betalning / Pay Now solution. (Which incidentally also works with the QR code in combination with bunq, just like with IDEAL and SOFORT, but uses a diffirent website/platform from Klarna.)

Meine Frage hierzu wäre eigentlich gewesen, wo kann man überhaupt Giropay verwenden? Ist dieses System nicht toter als die Girocard, die immerhin vom Zwang lebt?

DaveFlash

FloLoL79🌈 it depends on your bank if it has Giropay or SOFORT in Germany, but a lot of webshops in Germany still use it, here is an overview: https://www.bezahlen.net/ratgeber/shops-mit-giropay/

DaveFlash Ja, ich habe ein Konto bei einer Bank, welche auch Giropay anbietet. Ich habe es aber noch nie verwenden können, da kaum ein Händler die Methode anbietet

DaveFlash

FloLoL79🌈 Then the list above will have you find dealers that do😉

Extended support for Bancontact would be a big plus for Bunq. All belgian apps and websites support Bancontact as payment method. It's the most used one in Belgium.

Next to extended support for online Bancontact payments, a Bancontact card option would be a big plus to. Maestro isn't always supported at local shops or require an extra cost.
