• Activate / deactivate card

Hey all,


I've just opened by bunq account recently, and am for the time being planning to use it as an online-only account; so I do no foresee a wider use for the card at all.


I'd still like to have it though as a backup solution in case I'd need to get my hands on some cash quickly, so I was wondering whether there are any negative effects of keeping the card deactivated at all times, and only switching it on when I would need to use it - which could be in a year's time or whenever.


Cheers,

Chris

    Hey Chris! Welcome to bunq firstly :)

    You can indeed deactivate your card in the Cards menu and activate it whenever you wish to use the card. You can also choose to not activate it with the activation code after you've received the card. There are no negative effects, but please keep in mind that whenever the card is activated the fixed fee of 1,- is being charged monthly.
