• Add Tap & Pay into the quick shortcuts

Thanks. The limit is new, hasn't find an info about. Thx


"Tap & Pay works even when your device is locked"


Really? How? I was thinking Nfc is offline for security reason on my S8 if Im not logged in. But maybe I will try it, even I would normally use Google Pay with my watch in Daily use

    Same for me. I don't seem to be able to use it unless I unlock my phone. But I also didn't think I was supposed to be able to. Can you elaborate?


    Great work offline support. I'll be sure to try next time to test this out.

      Hi Steffany, Thank you for sharing! Your post is very helpful! You are the best!


      Hopefully my next car is also under de 50.000 so I can pay with my phone ;)

        Hey guys,


        Some devices indeed don't get our shortcut menu, we're checking it out πŸ‘

          Hi bunqers,

          The ability to use Tap & Pay with your locked phone is possible for the second way to use it: by authenticating between two taps πŸ‘

          If you have already enabled Tap & Pay on your device with bunq, you can then:


          1. Hold your locked phone up to the payment terminal.

          2. Authentication (fingerprint scanner) will pop-up for you to confirm. Go ahead and complete this.

          3. Hold your phone back against the payment terminal.


          Then you should be all set and your payment will be made πŸ™Œ(And that sounds like a pretty awesome way to buy a car, John Do πŸ˜ŽπŸš™)

          Cheers 🌈

            I think it's not possible on note 8 for now since it opens another menu when you hold the icon

              Testet it on my Terminal, works indeed even if smartphone is locked. Only problem ist, my Fingerprint sensor is on the back-side :D


              So its a Tap, Auth, Tap, Pay instead of Auth, Tap & Pay from Google Pay.


              One auth Step less since the last version :) So its indeed an improvement and maybe an alternative to Contactless with card. And the New Limits are great! :)


              But i think in 99% i still use my Wear OS Smartwatch with Google Pay ... there i just pres a button twice and hold the watch to the Terminal ^^

                @Elise Is there a way to disable authentication for low-amount transactions, like you can with a card?

                  Hi Mees,

                  At this time, we require this quick authentication for all amounts to make sure everything stays secure πŸ’ͺSo you will need to scan your fingerprint for both Tap & Pay options!

                  Cheers πŸ™‚

                    @Elise I really hope this will be changed. I don't understand this decision as it is inconsistent with the limits set on a card.

                      We will be sure to take your feedback into account, Mees!

                      If there's ever more information we will be sure to update this topic πŸ‘

                        @ImrΓΆ Yes, and that should be changed in my opinion. Would also love Android Wear (or what is it today, WearOS) support, that'd be sweet.

                          Do I need a special Android Version to make use of the Bunq widget? I am running Lineage OS 14 and there is no way to make it run. (Even with Nova Launcher as mentioned..) Any information would be very helpfull.

                            Today I opened T&P before walking into the store... at the register I opened my phone (beautiful yellow page was still there) and put my phone on the terminal. BUT, still Tap&Pay asked again for my fingerprint!!!! Does it all start again?

                              Nope, and there isn't a 5min time window anymore. My bet is that it has to do with how Samsung devices handle unlocking the phone. Because it also seems that my phone never locks when T&P screen is open, with other devices bunq tested it does.
