Bernice Hey 👋
This is a very good question. Why do you have to pay for a plan? I guess we could also ask, why do we have to pay for anything in life? I guess the answer is a little to complex to discuss here in full range, but in short it would be: because any business which provides a service, infrastructure and so on, wants to earn enough money to cover their own expenses, like employee payments and further, maybe to earn some profit with their business model. Wouldn’t you also want to succeed with your business?
But don’t be afraid, bunq offers even a free plan with Easy Savings. So you don’t necessarily have to pay 😎 cool isn’t it?
You can compare the different plans and their benefits here.
