No, your data is safe at bunq. Privacy and security are our top priorities. This means we will never share your personal data to third parties without your permission. You can learn more here.

Scammers performing phishing scams will send the same SMS to huge amounts of random phone numbers, or emails to random email addresses. It happens that some of those receiving the SMS or email will also have an account at bunq.
