Bunq on Chromebook

johannes

Castellum https://bunqDesk.top is the link :) you need the .deb file. Move it to the Linux Files and double click on it to install it :)

johannes

Castellum Here the direct link to the .deb file working with Chromebooks: https://github.com/bunqCommunity/bunqDesktop/releases/download/0.9.5/bunqDesktop-0.9.5-amd64.deb

I am a no-no I terms of it knowledge.
But using a third party application to manage my bank account makes me nervous thinking about Security.

Castellum It would be cool if you can use the reply button next to my message, so I get a notification when you answer me :)

Here you can read more about the security:
https://github.com/bunqCommunity/bunqDesktop/blob/master/README.md#security

It's using the official bunq API, one of the amazing features of bunq!

What Chromebook do you have? One with Linux Support?

Menno-Golden-Kiwi

Johannes 🇦🇺 Sorry :-) Forgot the.reply again

Menno-Golden-Kiwi

Acer Spin 13.
And I run Linux on it.
For Gimp and some other apps

johannes

Castellum Perfect :) I also have the Acer 13, with bunq Desktop.. it runs really great! :)

Johannes 🇦🇺 I will have look at it tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip.

johannes

Castellum No problem, have a good night :p

Castellum And just to add to the security comment. You can use OAuth to authenticate instead of a full API key so bunqDesktop can't send payments to external accounts or do other "destructive" API calls.

Menno-Golden-Kiwi

Gregory Goijaerts Is that something you set up in bunq?

Gregory

Castellum It will show up on the login page and there is a button to a guide on our wiki

Menno-Golden-Kiwi

Gregory Goijaerts 👍

Menno-Golden-Kiwi

Gregory Goijaerts And I think I need to go PRO.

Menno-Golden-Kiwi

Castellum Installed it but have no clue on how to connect.
The help screens are not very helpful either.

At some point I need to enter Client ID and client secret.

Menno-Golden-Kiwi

Castellum Do I need to do the API Key scan and the OAuth.
Or do I choose one of the two

johannes

Castellum I would suggest to just scan the QR code with the bunq app QR code scanner, verify with your hand and that's it. You need, I believe, bunq Premium. But that's it :)

We are a few bunq updates ahead since this topic started, so I was wondering if all the possible reasons why the app would not be available on Chromebooks are still legit. Does bunq consider opening up the app on the Play Store for Chromebook users in the near future?
