Siri Shortcuts

Siri Shortcuts is a feature that you can use to make your banking-experience with bunq even easier than it is already. You can create simple or advanced shortcuts and this functionality enables you to do so many things like

  • Send paymnets
  • Transfer money between accounts
  • Switch cards with your accounts
  • And much more

Share your idea

In this topic I would like to encourage everyone to share his or hers Siri Shortcuts idea, or even the shortcut itself. In this central spot we can all look for inspiration for nice new shortcuts and make life even easier. Maybe we can all help to create handy and nifty shortcuts!

    I have one account "Payments" I use to send money to other people, pay bills etc. This account usually does not have any money in it for security reasons. It happens that I want to pay something with that account. I create a new payment and in the last step of the assistant, I see, that I forgot to put money into that Payments account.
    That's why I created a shortcut that sits in the Shortcut widget and does the following:
    - ask me how much money I want to put into my Payments account
    - where to take that money from
    - move that money into my Payments account.

    My payment workflow now looks like this:
    - create payment
    - see I don't have enough money in the account
    - pull down the Shortcut widget and execute my shortcut
    - go back to the bunq app
    - go one step back and forward again
    - pay

    Now I don't have to cancel my transaction and move money around etc.

      Anyone else want to share his or her Siri Shortcut to make life easier? 🌈

        For my groceries, lunch at work, coffees, etc, I budget an x amount a week - let’s say €100,- which I want to have in a separate account that is linked to my main bunq debit and Apple Pay card.

        Instead of manually transferring the needed amount (which varies every week) to get to the €100,- every time, or having a planned tranfer of €100,- to said account I wanted a quick and easy way to have exactly that amount in that account every week. For this I made an automation in Siri Shortcuts.

        Every Saturday at 06:00 (so that I see it first thing whenever I wake up and check my phone) I get a notification to start this Shortcut, which then transfers the right amount to my spending account. 🌈

        So if anyone might want to steal this idea. It’s a shortcut in the automation part of Shortcuts and reads as follows:

        {bunq} Show balance on [account]

        {script} if [balance] is smaller than 100
        {math} 100- [balance]
        {bunq} transfer money from [main account] to [account]

        {notification} show notification [there is money on your account again!]

        It’s those little things things that make bunq such an amazing bank, bet you can’t do this with your legacy bank :)

          At the moment one needs the have logged in in the bunq app. You must have the logout timer > 0.

          So, when creating a Siri shortcut you must be logged in in the bunq app.
          Unless I’m wrong, but please tell me how to change.

          What about creating an option in Siri Shortcuts, that the first step is login in to the app. Like an oauth feature or such.

          A logout timer > 0 is a potential security problem in my opinion.

          And when one wants to use Siri Shortcuts all the time, no logout is the only option. But that makes the bunq app really unsafe.

          But like I said if I’m doing something wrong I’d really like to hear how to create a Siri shortcut different.
