  • Sharing requests via Whatsapp is not possible anymore

bunq.me is a tikkie different not a tikkie better. In the past I could see open requests in my overview and create requests for different accounts, and create different descriptions. I can still do this via the request button, but not via a shareable link. Please bring back the requests. I did found a workaround: use Tikkie. 😂

    Because we had another user who requested the same, lets push this topic back to the top and get the high-fives started! 👏

      I am now totally frustrated. What was wrong with the old request future? I hate tikkie, please don't try to copy it...

      I want to send an request with a specific amount, a description, for a specific iban (incoming) and share it through WhatsApp. With bunq.me only the sharing through WhatsApp is possible. With the updated request feature the possibility to share to WhatsApp is gone. Also the workaround through your own e-mail is gone, because it just creates a request in the bunq app...

      I tried to create a bunq.me link, as an alternative (although it doesn't fit my needs). I probably created a link before because it says my email address is already in use... But I don't know what my old link was and see no way to recover it.

      Happy to still have Rabobank as a back-up, they have copied the request function but did a relatively okay job... In the past bunq has been unreliable and they proof to still be.

        @Jan-Purple-Lion-3796003763#25565 Your e-mail is already in use because you are a bunq user. Have you tried to make a link in the app?

          @Jan-Purple-Lion-3796003763#25565 Hi!

          As a bunq user you can create or change your personal bunq.me link in the bunq app, via your profile.

          Have a nice day,

            It would make life a lot easier if this functionality would just come back. I use this a lot for my clients and it is not really practical to ask a client to fill in the amount for themselves after you already told them how much it’s gonna cost. This is a huge downgrade of what is in my opinion one of the most used features of the bunq app.

              @Jan-Purple-Lion-3796003763#25565 I really hope this feature returns sooner than later.

              You raise a valid point: reliability. I went all in with bunq a couple of months ago after the debacle with the 800% price increase. I kinda hoped/expected they would have learned from that. Especially on the communication front. Unfortunately it appears not much has been changed since then. Why wasn’t this mentioned In the changelogs? Where is an official bunq statement on this matter?

              You can’t do this when people pay 100 euros/year for your service.

              Also, in private matters I was told this feature was removed to clean up the app, but I honestly cannot believe that. To me it looks like a way to force people into using bunq.me and lure in new subscribers. This is not the way to go.

                Go bunq, bring it back!

                  So many people are asking for this functionality to come back. I think it’s only a matter of time before we see ‘advanced requests’ back in the app.

                    Totally agree. Why deleting the function that makes it easier to get your money back? Just let me fill in the amount

                      @Arnim#24805 Doesn't work for me

                        Please bring this function back. Now I can't even request someone to pay from another bank if they have bunq as well....

                          @Vaarkamp#25660 It looks like that method is only working in the Android app, for now..

                            @Bastiaan#25664 Yeah... It's a shame..... Hope they will get it back soon.

                              Why did someone remove the request by WhatsApp function?

                                Yes would love to see this feature return. Switching to Tikkie in the meantime 😬

                                  I hope the request function will come back :)!

                                    I request to reinstate the request function ;)

                                      Its already 2 days ago that this thread is started and not anyone from bunq has responded. Seriously?!?

                                      You guys still have a lot to learn about reliability, responsability and communication.
