[SUGGESTION] Garmin Pay

wesselt

Gabriel Valck I’ve paid a few times with Garmin Pay but it’s awkward entering PIN. You have to redo the setup if you reset your Garmin device, so my card is not often ready.

After a few months, I’ve basically stopped using it, even packing a 10€ note for runs.

I find the PIN system quite simple, also I'm not sure why you would need to reset the device often. I like it a lot

It is about time that Bunq keeps up with its competitors Openbank and Revolut, who already offer Garmin pay in the Netherlands. Very tempting to switch bank

Roeshimi

Marco You want to switch banks because they don't offer a certain payment scheme to you?

JeroenE

Roeshimi If you are a runner and are always bying stuff to eat or drink when you're running I would imagine it could be very tempting to switch, if that means you have to take less stuff with you.

And I don't know about you but paying with my phone still makes me smile.

Marcellus-Grey-Badger

Roeshimi I am exaggerating obviously. Actually, I am a very happy customer of Bunq. Only thing that frustrates me is that Bunq offers services like Apple pay and Google pay in other markets, except for their 'home' country. I am paying 4 times more than i used to for Rabobank, and would expect therefore that Bunq also introduced its innovations in the Netherlands (not just abroad)

JeroenE

Marco Bunq can't introduce this on their own. Both Apple and Google don't allow this for Dutch customers. So if anything you have to complain with them that they didn't start their Pay scheme in The Netherlands yet.

Roeshimi

Marco It's not like bunq does not WANT to offer Apple Pay/Google Pay, but they CAN'T offer it, because it's not their choice. Apple/Google have to allow it.
From what I've read here, it seems more probable that G Pay will come before A Pay to the Netherlands.

Jeroen 🏳️‍🌈 Good point, but I think bunq can put more pressure on Apple and Google than me ;)

Roeshimi

Marco I think there are not a lot of companies that can put pressure on Apple and Google, and bunq is certainly not one of them :P

Marcellus-Grey-Badger

Roeshimi Totally agree! So you can imagine that a single customer is even less likely to put enough pressure on them ;)

Roeshimi

Marco Sure. All you can do is vote with your money and not buy stuff from Apple/Google, but that's tough

Garmin Pay Integration would be awesome 👏🏼 would.

Garmin has under 5% marketshare in wearables, so this probably will come not in the near Future.

Menbren

Jens Hopefully it’s higher with bunq users, otherwise we could be in for a long wait...

Raoul-Azure-Wolf

Very disappointing.... I would have guessed Bunq would be the first Dutch bank to support this feature. Now I had to use my “Legacy” Rabo account to use Garmin Pay....

Erik-Red-Dolphin

So the tradionals banks (Rabobank / ABN) are in when is Bunq offering Garmin Pay support?

Gaburieru

Still waiting for this one to switch

Raoul-Azure-Wolf

Menno Brendeke Yeah well... in the meantime I stopped actively using Bunq as my first bank account. I now do my payments using my Rabo account using Garmin Pay to pay with my watch

DaveFlash

Raoul sad to hear this, but it's just not sensical or practical for bunq to support such a niche market, the only reason bunq started with Apple Pay and only later came with Google Pay is simple: The number of active Apple devices far outnumber the Androids under bunq's clientèle, I've heard numbers such as 70/30 at a bunq event last year, meaning 70% of bunq account holders are also Apple users where only about 30% use Android. so the potential for Garmin or Fitbit devices is even slimmer. Do not expect those at bunq any time soon is my advice. just get an Apple Watch or WearOS device.
