Automated transfer based on day instead of date

Dave

I wonder if it's an idea to schedule transfers based on day of the week. I would like to schedule money for my groasery on every Monday instead if the 1th or 8th of the month because that can easly be on a wednesday.

Can that be on a wishlist?

Thanks and keep up the very good work

I dont get it. Just start on a specific day of the week (let's say Monday morning at 05:00) and schedule the payment to be recurring weekly. Now the payment will be done every Monday on 05:00

Hi Dave 👋,

Thanks for taking the time to share your idea 💡.

Shelloggs has a valid point, I didn't think of that! :) The only small drawback that you have to wait with the schedule until that specific day.

Maybe it also becomes possible as the Ifttt feature arrives.

Lets gear what other bunqrs think of this.

Keep on sharing and enjoy your Saturday! 👍

Shelloggs Not exactly what i mean or want. Because a month can have 30 days or 31 days.
When i schedule it every week, for example the 1th of a month is on monday, the next month the 1th can easy be a wednesday. I dont want to make a
schedule it every month but only one time .
When you make a schedule based on days, you know exactly that you have 200 euro's for 7 days to spend. On the 8th I get new, 15th, 22th and 29th... you now can see the problem I refer to..
Now the 29th is a monday but my schedule will start on the 1th so i have to wait for money or i have to much on the 1th.

Hope my question is more clear now.

I don't believe you have to wait. I can set a payment right now for e.g. the coming Monday morning, and have it repeat weekly.

Shelloggs

I still don't get your issue. The scheduled payment is safely ignoring any dates and totally relies on the weekdays (if you configure it this way). I'm doing this too and started using bunq exactly because of the ease to set this up.

Could you share screens of how you have configured it because I have no option for that as you describe it, and also as you see in my screenshots.

Dave

Okay, that is really strange because I cannot select that;

Here a screenshot of a schedule what I get.

As you see, I have to set a DATE. So as you see, the 6th is monday and that goes ok for this month, but in september the 6th is on a thursday.

D. Greebe And then you set "Wanneer -> Datum 15 augustus" and "Frequentie -> Wekelijks" now you have scheduled a weekly payment on Wednesday...

Shelloggs

D. Greebe There's an error in your calculation. The dates don't matter. From Monday to Monday will always be a range of 7 days. A week will (hopefully) always be a whole week, would be pretty confusing for everyone to skip a weekend just because it's ferbruary. Weekly be therefore always be weekly. Choose a starting date (this should of course be a fixed date), configure your payment to be scheduled weekly and you'll be fine.

Dave

Shelloggs Ok.. I'll do that and will start next monday
