Split billing for bunq Pack

igoramadas

pardon if that was asked before, but... any chances of splitting the bunq Pack billing so members get charged 5 EUR directly on their accounts, instead of charging 20 EUR to a single member? I think that would remove a barrier and make it less frightful to share a Pack with people outside your family or "best friends" inner circle.

I myself don't really want to keep tracking if someone has transferred 5 EUR to me every month. That way a Pack would be considered more like a group. And could even have more than 4 members so if someone decides to downgrade to Travel or leave bunq in the future, the others would still keep the Pack and for 5 EUR each.

This is my last hope trying to get a similar experience from the previous Joint membership, for the same price.

Yes?

Igor yes. this is in my opinion how it should've been from the start. So I support your wish and idea.

You have my Hi-five! 🖐🏻

Igor Wouldn’t this mean that bunq should lower the cost of Premium to 5€.

The idea of Pack is essentially the same as Spotify Family or a Netflix subscription with 4 streams. One person is billed because he ordered the pack and can share it with his family (or friends). Of course you can (and are allowed to) share it with strangers but this isn’t the idea behind it.

Top idee! Veur!

Jonas Stoll It's essentially the same :
- either you put the premium subscription at 5 EUR per person from the start
- or you enforce some constraints to verify people are indeed from the same family (which is partly what spotify and others are doing, however bunq is actively encouraging people to pack with stranger, so it's not really "family" oriented in that sense)
- or you stop offering the pack as it is right now

Keeping the pack as it is right now is just less clear (and bunq told us they want to simplify their subscriptions!) and hypocritical.
Users that pack with strangers have a better price than users that don't dare doing that or don't even understand how bunq together is working (to find packers).
Also, not every family is composed of exactly 4 persons.

It's basically a discriminating subscription.

Jonas Stoll The comparison with Netflix is not entirely accurate, as on Netflix you pay more to get more features (4K instead of 1080p) and the extra number of simultaneous devices is part of these extra features. Devices != users.

I'm not sure if bunq brought up the Pack subscription with the intent to be shared within families and close friends. Maybe that was the case. But doesn't seem to be the main use case now - there's even a thread where strangers can team up and share a Pack.

Olivier Was soll den an einem Pack nich klar sein? Noch einfacher kann man die Funktion ja wirklich nicht machen. Wenn sie nicht verstehen wie es funktioniert sollten sie sich einfach mal informieren. Natürlich haben Benutzer die in einem Pack sind einen besseren Preis als Nutzer die es nicht verstehen oder sich nicht trauen. Wenn das nicht so wäre hätte das Pack ja keinen Sinn. Wer bereit ist sich um Pack Partner zu kümmern bekommt einen Vorteil. Ob die Personen aus einer Familie kommen Spiel beim Pack gar kein Rolle warum sollte es also überprüft werden?

Nadine Don't be afraid ;-) Pack will not go away, not yet.
