Double confirmation via SMS

When you add your card to Apple Pay, you'll first receive a confirmation via SMS. After confirming this, you'll receive a second confirmation through the bunq app. This double verification process ensures that it's you who is adding the card and not a potential fraudster.

Note Your card won't be functional with Apple Pay unless you confirm it in the bunq app.

What if I didn't add the card?

If you didn't add your card to Apple Pay but you received this notification, your current card details may have been compromised.
