bunq for Google Assistant

johannes

It would be cool if it would be possible to ask the Google Assistant for the account balance and to do other stuff with bunq.
Google Assistant "apps" / "skills" / "actions" are available in Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Italia, Spain, France, .. so this feature would be something for almost all bunqers :)

Johannes 🇦🇺 That is: bunqers who have a Google Assistant and who care less about giving Google insight in their financial matters...

But still, would be nice when bunq gets supported by Alexia, Siri and the other assistants.

Johannes 🇦🇺 It would be cooler if Siri does it 🥰

Sam 🇳🇱🇬🇧 For Alexa and other you would also need to give companies insights in your data, and if you don't want to use bunq with G Assistant, just don't use it :) (same for the other assistants)

Johannes 🇦🇺 Afaik: Siri gathers data locally from the app on the phone and doesn’t upload it to iCloud or anywhere else.

Oscar for Siri there is a separate wish topic: https://together.bunq.com/d/4434-siri-and-siri-shortcuts 😁

It is of my opinion that it would be appropriate to keep financial details private. Again, I do believe, that no Bunqer would want / like their account(s) compromised using these apps.

Stephen Could you not allow the bunqers to decide for themselves? If you don't want to use it, just don't use it..

johannes

LvH Can't say it for Siri, but Alexa is definitely gathering data as well and as I said above: If it's a problem for you to share your data with someone, you don't need to do it, but please give others at least the option to decide for themselves :)

Johannes 🇦🇺 Of course it has to be optional. :) Siri integration is already possible anyway for those that really want it, like full way including shortcuts - because you can make it communicate with the bunq API. Best through a proxy/VPN though to prevent IP issues.
