Hey bunqers 🌈

The verification process for your paperwork typically takes up to 5 minutes. For a smooth verification process, make sure to check out our pro tips. Once your full bank account is ready, we'll notify you, and you can start using your bunq account immediately.

Why is my verification taking longer?

In some specific cases your verification may take more time. You’ll be invited to join the Waiting List. This is a queue where all users who weren’t able to be verified in time can wait until we can offer a 5-minute verification.
