• Bunq Debit Mastercard Card

Just wanted to say that I'm very happy with the Bunq Debit Mastercard Card. This is the only "credit card" I have that is accepted on US streaming sites like DC Universe. Anyone else any experience with these things?

Keep up the good work Bunq!

    Just curious, why aren't your other cards accepted? I never had a problem using all my cards anywhere I want, including US based stuff

      the problem is that the card is not a real credit card. unfortunately only a depit card. in Germany you can not pay everywhere with it. at the German railway this does not work in the board restaurant. I had expected that I would have fewer problems with the credit card. it would be nice, especially as a business user, if there was a solution here.

        @Bettenfuzzi#53874 Hi Oliver
        Since bunq is supporting offline payment terminals I can even pay at gas stations without any problem (e. g. V-Markt München/ Offline Payment Limit 100 Euro).
        But with the Deutsche Bahn the problem is set up in the Deutsche Bahn‘s system and old fashioned way of thinking itself. Payments via e. g. Paypal were invented only a few months ago.
        And to avoid any payment fraud in the train restaurants the employees are forced to check visually every card if it’s prepaid , debit or traditional credit card.
        So it does not even help to tell the service staff that you have an offline payment authorization.
        And after more than one year of using bunq: The Deutsche Bahn is the only payment problem. But it lies in the Bahn‘s ridiculous slow acceptance of the modern world.

          @Filipe-Pink-Cheetah#53855 I have no idea. I am talking about payments that require a US postal code at sign-up. For some reason my Revolut and Rabobank card were both not excepted. But Bunq was.

            @Jos-Golden-Unicorn#53889 ah yes in this case the site may see the bunq debit card as a USA card since the PAN-range, a part of number that's on the card to identify country and bank, may have been assigned to a US bank previously before that range expired and MasterCard assigned them back to another bank, in this case bunq. I've had the same funny thing my bunq Mastercard is also seen by some sites and services as being "from the US" when it's actually Dutch. but the numbers of credit and debit cards are continually recycled as far as I know. But a lot of sites and services don't update their lists often enough. you can lookup the country for your card here: https://binlist.net by entering the first half of the creditcard no.

            In my case one of my mastercards is identified as being US from Morgan Chase bank:

            (the other one is correctly identified as The Netherlands but no bank either ;-(

              @DaveFlash#53950 I have had a look on the site, but for my credit card number it shows The Netherlands as country. There is no bank though.

              But for now i'm happy that it works with the US site :)
