More cash for free of charge

Panos-Silver-Hummingbird

Marco Yes. Remember when for a period credit card Terminals diddnt work this spring Suddendly my main stores said „sorry, cash only“ . All that due to some stupid license issue . We need free acess to our money in cash. Relying on cashless in times where government is afraid of power shortages in winter is just naive.

Is this sarcasm? If not, I’m speechless. Better keep this discussion unpolitical and related to bunq please.

Marco Honestly, haven't you thought about checking the terms and conditions before opening your bunq account?! Bunq is digital bank with all the respective advantages and disadvantages. Most neobanks do NOT support unlimited cash withdrawls!
If you need to withdrawl a lot of cash, there is a spanish competitor with unlimited withdrawls. ;-)

Marco Furthermore, I don't want bunq to spend my subscription fees on some useless partnerships. Bunq is currently located in 8 different countries and available in about 30! How many partnerships to you want to pay for? You suggested ING. They have a pretty bad coverage with ATMs outside The Netherlands. Also why would a bank like ING bothering to partner with bunq?

Dennis I was just an idea…

Marco Haha of course you're free to share your ideas here, but it seems most bunq users don't like cash 😅😂

GG I will go with both. ING and Bunq. I think that is the right choice for me but apparently not for everybody. But that is fine for me. People are different. I would never tell somebody that his choice. I chose Bung because with every 100€ spent, a tree is planted. But you are right ATM ist old infrastructure like cash at all. Maybe I will to the same like you did and cancel ING, but at the beginning it is to hot for me…

Marco Great 👍
I jot also ING for a while as back up… then when I turned on the automated Switching service and in 2 months I never open ING then I closed it.
Maybe in few months you let us know how it is going.
Good luck 🍀

Marco Don’t be mad at us or feel unwelcome by our comments please. Every idea is welcome and obviously everyone here is just sharing his/her experience with you and their thoughts.
I personally really think that you don’t need that much cash nowadays, even in Germany you can pay everything and everywhere even with Mastercard. At least in my hometown it’s no issue anymore even to pay with Apple Pay in a small bakery. Maybe you try bunq for some months and you will see that you don’t have the need to hold bigger amounts of cash. If not, you can still use more than just one bank!

Thijs I still like cash. 😋 I really love to see Euro coins from lots of different countries inside my pocket. It is a small reminder of what a great achievement a joint Europe is! But since bunq is all about digital payments, it takes quite some time for them to leave. 😅
Marco I had the same concerns when I switched from Sparkasse to DKB a few years ago. If you have a sparkasse account, you are able to withdraw cash almost anywhere in Germany for free (since there are Sparkasse ATMs even in small towns). But after some months I started to use digital payments more often and realized that I don't need a Sparkasse account anymore. Even though the Sparkasse implementation was a lot better than Google Pay back in the day, because you were able to use a Girocard on your phone (at the time only the major stores accepted credit cards). This year I added bunq, because of all their digital goodies and because they don't charge additional money for credit cards.
