Hey Theemstra,
Thank you for your idea and feedback! 😊
I see your point here, however I'm not sure if a real-time status check for a non-real-time service (such as regular inter-bank transfers) would be desirable, when we already offer an equivalent real-time service. In fact, if you send out a payment request to a bunq user, you'll get the money on your bunq account as soon as the other person pays. If instead you send the request to a non-bunqer, and the request is paid via iDEAL, the money will also arrive on your account in real time. Moreover, by navigating to the request link you can always see if the request has been paid already or not 👍
I understand how it could be handy to have a formal payment confirmation to testify that your transfer has indeed been paid out. This is on our wishlist and we'll make sure to update this topic when we have a different option from taking a screenshot or exporting a bank statement! :)
