    ik weet niet of u een spaarrekening bij leasplanbank kan openen, die geven bijna net zo veel rente als bij bunq maar wel onbeperkte opname. wij hebben onze deposito moeten openbreken na dat mijn moeder is overleden en heel veel moet regelen. ik twijvel nog heel erg
    wat ik met het restant ga doen. of bij bunq stallen of een rekening openen bij de leasbankbank. ik heb nog een paar dagen om dit te bedenken

      Hi BUNQ Support,

      How do you know if anymore is working on your current support request / case. Is it normal to have no response for days?

      It would really help to just know someone is busy with the query, especially when there is no contact number to validate.....

        @New-Bronze-Lion-2607087120#285171 Hey there ๐Ÿ‘‹ Thanks for your question! Please know that currently we're experiencing a heavier workload, hence a longer waiting time is normal. If you have an urgent inquiry, please open an SOS ticket following the steps mentioned here ๐ŸŒˆ This way our guides will get back to you within 10 minutes ๐Ÿ™Œ

          @New-Bronze-Lion-2607087120#285171 At the moment, a response can take 1-1,5 week.

            @alice-lime-puma#285173 The "current heavier workload" has been going on for a few months now... Are you looking at expanding your support team?

              @thijsoost#285175 Hi Thijs, is there any process to request an escalation or priority?

                @New-Bronze-Lion-2607087120#285177 As Alice said, you can use SOS support once a month. If you've already used SOS support, there's nothing else you can do to speed up the process.

                  Yes, it's super annoying. My money was literally stolen and they have not responded in more than a week! Unbelievable

                      I just made an account and now I am waiting for verification. The 5 minute shtick is absolutely not true. My verification says it will take up to 3 weeks. The waiting is annoying, but my biggest gripe has to be the abysmal customer service. You wonโ€™t get any answers from anyone at support at all. And I believe they are purposely ignoring questions too. I am not playing the waiting game for too long. I give them 2 days to answer, otherwise Iโ€™m just going to take my business somewhere else. I advice others to do the same. Having access to 25 IBANs is nice, but if the service is this lackluster, I might as well try luck at my local banks. Bunqโ€ฆyou suck!!

                        @New-Salmon-Wildcat-2594383032#288643 Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. I understand your frustration and how crucial it is to receive a timely response, and we always strive to offer you the best solution as quickly as possible. Our support team has been a bit busier than usual lately, but rest assured they are working diligently to assist you promptly! If you have an urgent inquiry, you can follow the steps outlined here to utilize our SOS support option, and we'll respond within 10 minutes ๐Ÿ™Œ

                        Please know that, it's our priority to keep our 5-minute promise to you. In some cases, we may need additional details before we fully complete the approval process, but if this is the case you'll always be informed via in-app notification ๐Ÿ“ฒ More information about that you can find here ๐ŸŒˆ

                          Statements regarding 10 minutes reply on SOS tickets is simply not true, I've been waiting for 40+ minutes already and there is no reaction so I am wondering actually what is happening and if I should escalate this somehow or just silently leave to another bank.

                          I've been a customer for over 5 years and I was actively using Top Up my account with Credit Card. Today's morning I was trying to use this feature but somehow my CC used for top-ups last years was removed from the bunq app (I never removed it of course), so I had to add it again to use the feature. After the first top-up it says that I have reached the daily limit, which was never the case before. The only information related to top-up limits is 2018 post here which says that the limit 500EUR/day is applied for the new accounts under 1 month of age, but my account is over 5 years, so I suppose this is not the case.

                          If the limits are changed, why there is no information on this anywhere? Why support is not responding on the SOS case opened? This is extremely frustrating, especially if you have payments due.

                            @Pavlo-Indigo-Shark#294418 Looks like the SOS option didn't work, I advice waiting for a response from bunq support. This can take 1-2 weeks.

                              @thijsoost#294420

                              vorige week had ik het zelfde. de s.o.s functie werkt niet
                              ik moest ook 5 uur wachten op enige reactie. ik kom een gedeelde iban niet verwijderen
                              wand ik kreeg een fout melding. ik moest die iban opzeggen omdat ik anders mijn abonnement niet naar een savings account kon omzetten .

                              uit eindelijk was het zelf gelukt door de hele bunq account van mijn partner te beรซindigen
                              wand toen werd de ' iban rekening gecanceld " zo luide de boodschap. daarna weer de account ge activeert en ook deze op savings account gezet.

                              aan de support heb je echt helemaal niks, en je moet echt creatief zijn op sommige momenten. puur om te testen heb ik 3 contact opgenomen met onze nieuwe huisbank knab bank, en binnen 1 minuut een duidelijke en inhoudelijke reactie gehad ,

                              nee de s.o.s functie is niks meer dan een rookgordijn

                                Seit 2022 hat sich beim Support anscheinend nichts getan. Ich warte mittlerweile 2 Wochen auf eine Antwort vom Support. Das ist einer Bank nicht wรผrdig. Meiner Meinung sollte das sogar ein Fall fรผr die BaFin sein. Eine Bank sollte spรคtestens innerhalb eines Werktags antworten. Die Gebรผhren werden immer hรถher aber der Support nicht besser.

                                  Is there even a single human alive who can handle fraud? I am waiting for bloody SEVEN days now for anyone to handle my stolen 100โ‚ฌ from several unknown 'vendors' within seconds! Refund claims from all merchants are declined, I just received the same bloody dumb responses all over again from the totally useless chatbot. Is there something similar to the BaFin in the Netherlands?

                                    Hi Markus ๐Ÿ‘‹

                                    I totally understand your frustration and am sorry you're experiencing this. I'll escalate your case to our relevant department swiftly. Please check your in-app tickets soon, we'll be reaching out from there for your account's safety and privacy.

                                    Thank you for your patience ๐Ÿ™

                                      LOL, I've read that so many times in the bloody chat. Well, I just filed a complaint at the FBI / IC3. Maybe it will enhance the motivation and speed a little bit.
