• Does anyone know whether bunq considers today a banking holiday?

I know Triodos doesn't, but I'm waiting for a payment from my savings account over there to bunq. Last year they did, but there is no announcement on it this year.

    @Ellen994#219126 bunq's system runs 24/7, but if we're speaking about bank transfers, the important connection piece is the TARGET2-system in-between the banks which is run by the European Central Bank. This system does not process payments on weekends and also on certain holidays. For example, Good Friday (today) and Easter Monday are both holidays.

      Thank you both. I am still wondering whether or not my payment will arrive today. Triodos said that every payment before 15:30 has to come at another Dutch bank today at the latest. I send the money before 15:00, so I assumed it would arrive today.

        @Ellen994#219131 I am still wondering whether or not my payment will arrive today.

        As today is a TARGET holiday, no payments will arrive. The only payment type that always works 24/7 are instant payments. Triodos doesn't support the TIPS or RT1 instant payment networks that bunq supports, so that's unfortunately not an option in your case. Your payment will therefore arrive next Tuesday, as that is the next day that the TARGET system is open.
