How do I withdraw money from my Savings Account?

Hey bunqers 🌈

Navigating your finances should be as simple as possible, and that includes accessing your savings. At bunq, we've designed our Savings Account with user-friendly features to make managing your money a breeze. To encourage you to save the money for your next vacation, we've limited the withdrawals to 2 per calendar month.

You can withdraw all of your money or choose a partial amount - the choice is yours!

Important note: Keep in mind that the limit of 2 monthly withdrawals applies to all of your Savings Accounts. You have 2 monthly withdrawals for your Personal Savings Accounts and 2 separate for your Business Savings Accounts in total.
Only internal transfers between your Personal Savings Accounts don’t count towards the monthly limit.
The limit is automatically reset at every 1st of the month (01:00am CET). Keep in mind, that transferring money from your Savings account to your child's Savings account also counts towards the limit, as these are two distinct Personal accounts.
