I found Settings for Google Apps, but Google Pay is missing there. I am however able to select Google pay as default in the NFC settings
@Kars-Silver-Penguin#225881 ...But still there is no Add to Google Pay banner in the Bunq app.
@Kars-Silver-Penguin#225884 If you haven't been able to solve this, I would advise you to ask Private Support about your issue setting up Google Pay. Maybe they know more. At least from what you posted, it seems like to me you should be able to use Google Pay. You can get to support in the app by following these steps:
Thank you Jacob, I already have. It is apparently an unknown problem and has been passed to the developers.
It's think it is really sad that Bunq shelved tap & pay, and replaced it with a commercial alternative that is not working on all regular phones.
Back to ING I guess
Adding a question to that topic. In austria mastercard supports google pay, why isnt it available with bunq?
Ok, heb hetzelfde probleem. Vroeger werkte de tap and pay van bunq prima, maar nu helemaal niet meer. Valt niet goed te rijmen dat bunq alsmaar duurder wordt en er functionaliteit wegvalt. Dat hoort natuurlijk andersom te zijn.
@Johannes-Maroon-Lynx-2208674643#226007 Funny Austria was the country that enlighten me on the disadvantages of signing the google pay terms and the amount of meta-data leaking to google, which made tap and pay so attractive.
In any case I am under the impression the Bunq mastercard is under Netherland number allocation therefore you will NOT be able to add it in Austrian Google-pay.

bunq has different number ranges for pretty much every EEA country, even for customers from Iceland. So that shouldn't be the problem. Or rather, it's probably actually the reason for you not being able to use Google Pay with your cards. Because bunq doesn't support Google Pay in Austria, and therefore Austrian bunq cards don't work. If you actually had Dutch bunq cards, pretty sure Google wouldn't mind if you added them to your wallet.
@Jakob-Y#226258 Dachte GPay wäre mittlerweile auch in Austria eingeführt?
@Flo1979#226261 GPay was introduced by Google in Austria at the same time as in the Netherlands. However, bunq does not support it in Austria, while it does in the Netherlands. And nobody knows why this is the case 🤦
@der13teFreitag#226278 Das klingt in der Tat unlogisch 😬
@der13teFreitag#226278 Frage doch mal welche Bank damals in Österreich die erste war, die GPay eingeführt hat. Diese hat sicher bei den Vertragsverhandlungen darauf bestanden, das andere Banken erst später zum Zuge kommen. Und für dieses Vorrecht dürfte eine erhebliche Summe Geldes geflossen sein.
@Bernd-Cyan-Penguin#226313 Also in Österreich waren die bekannten Fintechs, wie beispielsweise Revolut, N26, Wise, Monese und Curve, von Anfang an dabei. Deshalb glaube ich ehrlich gesagt nicht, dass es da irgendein Exklusivrecht gab 🤔
@Bernd-Cyan-Penguin#226313 Das ist komplett aus der Luft gegriffen, beim Start waren sogar ausschließlich Fintechs in Österreich dabei und z.B. TransferWise (oder jetzt Wise) kam dann nach wenigen Wochen auch noch dazu, also warum sollte es dann genau Verträge gegen bunq geben? bunq hat da leider eine kleine Tradition Österreich etwas zu vergessen, da wir zwar auf irgendeinem Blatt Papier ein "full bunq country" sind, aber das war's auch schon. Apple Pay kam in AT auch erst mit grooooßer Verspätung von bunq, während alle anderen Fintechs bereits zu Beginn mit am Start waren.
@johannes#226323 Leider. Aber mir ist unverständlich warum. Wenn man sich so exklusiv mit features präsentiert sollte man das eigentlich abdecken oder eine Alternative anbieten.
Just here to confirm that I'm having troubles with bunq + Google Pay on my Pixel 4 and 5 as well. The "Add to G Pay" button in the bunq app just won't appear no matter what I try. Google Pay works fine for me with several other banks, which makes this whole ordeal even more strange.
Customer support is still looking into it. But I'm kinda losing hope. :(
@YetAnotherCompany#226628 Customer support ... It's known since the removal of tap & pay https://together.bunq.com/d/42081-google-pay-in-austria
Heb ik wat gemist? Heb de Tap &Pay mogelijkheid nog steeds in de bunq app staan, evenals in de instellingen van m'n telefoon. De bunq app heeft de laatste update gedraaid btw. Nog niet uitgeprobeerd of het nog steeds werkt overigens.
