Who else loves the new Jackpot feature?

Only if I win I call it a great feature, otherwise, why make 1 big jackpot if you can create multiple mini jackpots. I never win something, so I can also agree this feature is stupid. If you split the prize money over 1000 bunq users it’s more likely to win and it could serve as a bonus for using Bunq. Don’t make this a gambling show, it’s a bank

Also ich finde die Idee auch nicht schlecht. Aber der Einwand das nur Leute eine Chance haben die viel ausgeben kann ich auch verstehen.

Kann man nicht als Alternative oder evtl. Parallel anbieten, das es auch klassisches cashback gibt. So profitieren wirklich alle davon.

Das ist aber für bunq natürlich schwieriger zu kalkulieren….

I couldn’t agree with your post more.

Have you considered how strange the odds are of winning? Rich people with hefty savings accounts have higher odds. In another pool you get tickets for inviting new users to Bunq. How large do you think that pool of people is?

Vincent It is an incentive to save, not a charity and thus pretty much in line with any form of investment. The actual benefit is getting other people to join bunq.

John Do I agree in part: 30k per month equal to a product manager, a senior and a junior dev and one or two support staff. Probably more beneficial for this perspective. On the other hand, these kinds of lotteries are pretty common and provide incentives for using bunq and not just having it, I suppose.

Die Jackpot-Funktion finde ich ganz nett, so lange es ein kostenfreies Feature bleibt. Nice to have, aber cashback z.B. auf Kartenzahlungen wäre noch etwas interessanter

Jan-Frederik I am ambivalent towards the jackpot feature, but what bothers me is the unclear strategy in developing bunq further. IMHO they got lost in their strategy and product roadmap planning. Bunq should lead the Neo bank pack, not shine with beta versions which have obvious transactional problems (-> in banking there can’t be a beta related to transactions, only to usability). We need real innovation in the area of investments, user experience of the app as well as designs of cards, cashbacks etc. - a long list. Otherwise bunq is falling back behind the other Neo banks. Maybe bunq grew too fast and is now in a state where they have structural problems like support etc. Just my impression. I hope they wing it and return to the path of leading the pack again. Fingers crossed.

Jan-Frederik Naja. Kostenfrei ist es ja nicht. Bunq ist keine Wohltätigkeits-Organisation. Das kommt von deinem Geld und Gebühren.

New-Red-Dolphin-2892653544

Da gebe ich Dir Recht. Ich würde es aber auch nicht an dem Jackpot-Feature fest machen, zumal so etwas (unter anderem Namen) auch deutsche Sparkassen machen. Ich bin nach wie vor von den Key-Features von bunq überzeugt und finde zum Beispiel die mit dem letzten Update ausgerollte Investfunktion gut. Ich hoffe auch, dass die Schwerpunkte ab jetzt wieder mehr Richtung Bankfeatures gehen. Ich denke die social Web Sparte ist jetzt gut bedient

Stefan-Olive-Hummingbird

Jan-Frederik Gerade diese „Investfunktion“ funktioniert nicht, außerdem sind die Möglichkeiten sehr begrenzt und die Kosten hoch. Trade Republic und andere wie Vivid verlangen keine oder nur mariginale Gebühren und sind transparenter. Gute Idee von Bunq aber echt schlecht umgesetzt meiner Meinung nach.

Julian-Mees

Also ich finde es eine gute Idee von Bunq. Und es steht auch nirgendwo, dass das Geld das von uns angelegt wird, auch für die Lotterie benutzt, ich sehe zumindestens nichts davon. Des weiteren ist es für jeden noch einmal ein Goodie dafür das man bei Bunq Kunde ist, Bunq gibt den Kunden wenigstens was wieder bzw. vom Kuchen.

I think it’s a great feature but I do understand your opinion. It’s just sounding like we are paying every month for entering the lottery without having a choice. Maybe they need to add a feature where you pay less (like €1/month) when not wanting to enter the jackpot feature?

Rick where you pay less (like €1/month)

When you think about how many users are at bunq, it's like a few cents of the monthly fee at most that is going into refinancing the Jackpot. I gotta admit I'm personally not a huge fan of participating in games of chances, but 360k/year is not a huge sum for bunq, so I could imagine considering its marketing potential it may just be a no-brainer. Especially if it doesn't just lead to more users but also the users more actively using bunq. I definitely like it better than the "get 10 Euros per new user" campaign that they did a few years ago, this feels more sustainable.

RickNL

Jakob I feel you! That is correct and I think in that wat it’s a nice new feature.

JMoVS

Totally agree - fishy and weird as hell. I don’t need/want a lottery in my bank.

Reuel

FYI, according to the terms and conditions the jackpot is a temporary promotion for 6 months (last draws in October 2022).

I don’t hate the idea of a jackpot, but it feels out of touch for what users want to see implemented.

I mean, Revolut and N26 users get so many opportunities for cash back, discounts, and insurances. Why can’t Bunq implement things like that instead of giving away €10,000 per month?

Can I please downvote this push notification? I want to keep notifications enabled for my banking app but not if they’re going to send spam… 😵‍💫

Henk-Black-Panther

Ian Agreed, tried to find an opt-out but once again trouble finding such a thing. As a recovering gambling addict I really don't appreciate this message about increasing my odds (or the jackpot option at all for that matter)

Ian The notification alone is a reason to close my account. This isn’t candy crush!
