Hey bunqers 🌈

In case you lose access to your bunq account or suspect another person has unauthorized access to your bunq account, you can secure your account by resetting your Security Code.

How do I reset my Security Code if I’m logged out of my bunq account?

If you were logged out of your bunq account, follow these steps to reset your Security Code:

Update to the latest version of the bunq app in the App Store or Play Store.
Open the bunq app and tap on Already a member? Login!
Tap on Forgot Security Code?
Enter the phone number or email address that you’ve registered with your bunq account and tap on Next.
Follow the instructions on your screen to verify your identity.
Choose your new Security Code and confirm it.
You can use your new Security Code to log into your bunq account.

If you somehow can’t recover the access to your account while following the steps above, don’t hesitate to reach our SOS Support at +31208083666. Using this automated flow, you’ll be able to temporarily block your card and bunq account within 1 minute. This will keep your account and funds safe until you regain access. If you suspect your account was hacked, please report the case by filling this form.

If you are logged into your bunq account, follow these steps to change your Security Code:

Go to 👤 Profile
Go to ⚙️ Settings
Tap on Security
Select Change Security Code
Type in your current Security Code
Choose your new Security Code and confirm it.

What if I’m using bunq on multiple devices?

For your safety, all other active login sessions will end after you reset your Security Code. If you want to log into your bunq account on a new device, you need to again verify your identity. This measure enhances the security of your account, particularly if you suspect it has been compromised.

Things to keep in mind when resetting your Security Code

Make sure you're logging in with the same phone number or email address that you used to register your bunq account.
If you're using your phone number to log in, ensure you can receive SMS messages and don't forget to enter the correct area code.
If you choose to log in using your email address Just double-check that it's been confirmed. You can do this by looking for the confirmation email we sent you when you registered.
Make sure you choose a strong password that doesn't contain your birth date or repetitive numbers.
