Hey Jan,
I totally get where you're coming from. It seems like every time we turn around, there's another "just €1" hike, right? I mean, when you break it down by percentage, it hits us smaller users way harder. It's not just about the euro; it's the principle and how it adds up over time.
I've been with Bunq for a bit now, and like you, I've seen my share of these increases. As a student, every euro counts, and I started asking myself – am I really getting my money's worth here? Sure, Bunq has its perks like being eco-friendly and letting us have multiple IBANs, which is cool and all. But when there's no big improvements to match these price jumps, it makes you think, doesn't it?
Other banks seem to offer a bunch more without charging so much. We're talking loans, real credit cards, even perks like app subscriptions and various insurances. And here I am at Bunq, paying more to basically get the same old.
And don’t even get me started on the whole 'planting trees' thing. I’m all for helping the planet, but why does it feel like we have to pay extra for every good deed?
Plus, the limits on how often we can pull money from our savings? That’s a real headache, especially when you're juggling bills and life throws a curveball. And the whole deal with customer service and the response times? It's like shouting into the void sometimes.
I guess what I'm saying is, I feel your frustration. If things don’t start looking up or making sense money-wise, I might just have to call it quits with Bunq. It's tough because I really wanted to support a bank like this, but we've got to look out for our own wallets too, right?
Would love to hear more of your thoughts and anyone else feeling the squeeze.
Cheers,
