With update 9 we can sent other currencies than euro! Nice! But can we also recieve other currencies?

@Tonnie-Turquoise-Butterfly#41047 Hi 👋

This is unfortunately not (yet) possible in the current version of the app. But bunq is always listening to feedback.

Would love to be able to receive other currencies. Currently, this is the only reason I still need a 'traditional' bank account. I have a portfolio of shares in USD, and dividends or other proceeds are therefore also in USD, have to send them to my old bank and then to bunq.

Would love this too. Sometimes receiving usd and need to use another bank for that

@WJanson#41235 Are you sure? It states this in the fees document:

@Hemmik#41321 Hi Hemmik, as in your screenshot, it states in the left column "Receiving money (..) in euro".
So I'm not quite sure where you're reading in this screenshot that non-euro payments are possible. :)

Hemmik

@Petervdv#41376 Actually it says “Receiving money in non- euro OR outside SEPA in euro”

Should be possible indeed as it states in the fee document, only condition is that the transfer arrives in Euro at bunq. 🌈

@Hemmik#41379 I'm sorry you're right there. :)

@Hemmik#41321
I’ve based my answer on a statement made by bunq on Twitter.

So no I’m not sure, I just relayed the information that I have.

Here it says we shouldn‘t count on Swift working. Kinda not so good. It really should be guaranteed.

@Tonnie-Turquoise-Butterfly#41047 It is possible with fees (as you can see in the pricing list), but I would personally say use TransferWise. With TransferWise you also get "multi currency accounts" and it's much cheaper compared to Swift.

But it is possible.
