Can any one tell me how to make an initial opening deposit from a UK bank?
Make initial deposit

Hello Christopher! 🙂
Thank you for your interest in bunq! If your bank is not on the iDEAL/SOFORT list, then the best solution for you is to do a video call instead to verify your identity.
It'll not take more than 5min of your time and all you need with you is your Passport! 👍
I have done that. My account is open and verified. In neither the UK nor France do we have sofort or ideal availablilty so how can I deposit money into this account?

Hey!
You can do a normal wire transfer to your bunq IBAN. You can find your IBAN in your bank account 👍
Thank you for your prompt reply. Can I also transfer into this account by debit card

Hey Cristopher!
How do you mean exactly? Because we have no physical terminals to deposit money on your account.
For an overview of depositing on your account, you can find more information in this topic: https://together.bunq.com/topic/deposit-to-bunq-accounts

Hi Christopher, no you can not pay money into your bunq account using a debit card (like you can with Monzo, Fire, etc). You can transfer money from a UK bank by SEPA payment, which if you have reasonable bank charges like Handelsbanken, Monese or Fidor is good value. If you have a more expensive high street bank account to avoid their charges you could try Transferwise or Azimo.
Thank you for that information, most helpful
