Start Your Own Family Forest!

That is one fun suggestion!

Het probleem wat je beschrijft zou eenvoudig op te lossen zijn door af te stappen van accounts per persoon en net zo als bij elke andere bank gemeenschappelijke accounts te introduceren. 1 account, 1x betalen, 1x alles.

Maybe not call it family, but team or something, but I think it‘s a nice concept.

Jakob Fair point :)... here are some ideas. Or maybe you can simply give it your own name! #skyisthelimit

What's the point of all this really?

Alex What's the point of all this really?

See my post 😉. In my case: an easy and fun way to see how much trees 🌲 my wife and I planted ... together (instead of seeing just my our own trees)

Bunq says they plant a tree in our name. But I'm sure they won't actually name the forest after us. I'm not against planting trees but I'm starting to think the whole purpose of the green card has been defeated since everyone without the green card can also plant trees. Bunq should have made the green card with both maestro and MasterCard 2 in one card. So people wouldn't be asking to sallow all cards to plant trees. And also, the green card should have been painted in green color, preferably light green colour. Being white makes it seem as if it copied the apple card. I'm just saying....right now it's more a white card. Not green card.

There is really no point of all this. Do we still talk about banking and useful features or gamification?

JohnDo

André Well, for my personally banking stuff used to be a necessary evil 👿.... but since I have bunq it has become a fun and easy way to do al my banking stuff. So, I think there is nothing wrong with spicing it a bit up :)... At least when stays within boundaries 😉...

There are already plenty of boring bank out there ;)

As cool as this idea may sound, I can imagine that this would be very hard to implement since the other party/parties essentially have to share their spending data (and not just that of shared accounts) so others can see how much trees they get planted. Besides the privacy aspect, I think there are other (more useful) features the bunq team should get to first.
I really value your creativity and nice images but I do not back this idea.

Hi 👋🏼 Luuk, thanks for you feedback. I think it is relative easy to build, because bunq knows per user the total trees 🌳 they have. My idea 💡 is simply to show the totaal of all trees of a defined group. That’s it. So when it comes to privacy, I think there is nothing to worry about.

Luuk I think there are other (more useful) features the bunq team should get to first.

Well, I hope bunq will finally fix a serie of bugs 🐛 first I have reported ages ago 😉...

Johan

Luuk As soon as there is a thirt party, psd2 will be in place I think 🤔
So you’re correct it’s a privacy issue.

JohnDo

Johan 🇳🇱 see my comment above. I think the way I propose it... there isn't a privacy issue. There is zero need to share transactions.

Johan

John Do

"Access to the payment account by third parties" is the psd2 statement and therefore pretty clear i think so.

igoramadas

John Do A small note to add: even thou you don't need to share transactions, if you share the amount of trees planted you can derive the transaction amount (as X trees planted per 100 EUR). This would be obviously an opt-in service so participants would be aware of that.

JohnDo

Johan 🇳🇱 I don’t get your point. This is about setting up a connection between two or more bunqers... just as you would with bunqs Connect function... but in this case only the total amount of trees are exchanged. That it. Not a single transaction need to be shared in any way. So, don’t see how this is PSD2 relevant.

JohnDo

Igor Sure. It goes whiteout saying that every member has to accept such request of course. So definitely it will be an opt-in 👍 #privacyfirst.

Jakob-Y

Igor Maybe it would be better to only be able to see the total then, and not how many trees each person contributed to the team / family / clan. That way we could for example also have a "Together Nerds" team, and as long as there are more than 2 members in it, it'd be hard to derive how much a single person spent altogether. (Especially right now with many old Green Card members that sometimes get 2 trees for 100 Euros, and sometimes only 1 tree.)

JohnDo

Jakob Maybe it would be better to only be able to see the total then, and not how many trees each person contributed

Hi 👋🏼 Jakob! I think I wasn’t perfectly clear in my topic but yessss this was exactly what I had in mind 👌. No need to know what the tree 🌳 count is per individual!

Enjoy your evening!

I do quite like the idea, but do not think this should be the main focus right now...

I would much appreciate bunq focusing their attention on maturing and stabilizing their foundational core products, functions and subscriptions.

Then, bunq could continuing developing their SIDE products, like planting trees.
