MAJ Well... the “gift” has to come from somewhere.
I also object to the subjected interest for everyone if that’s true.
I liked the honest, simple en transparant structure of bunq storing our money on ECB as much as possible, without doing something funny with it.
And I think that’s healthy for a bank.
With the new update, it’s not so much of an issue that I lack the possibility to opt-out of receiving interest. It’s that I think creating costs of paying all your customer 9 times the interest that other banks pay, is maybe setting bunq up to go down a path in which they are no different than any other bank.
And giving the possibility to opt-out of interest might not be enough to prevent that.
I’m just a bit skeptical about this.
I don’t see it as a gift. I very much am aware this money I receive has to cone from somewhere.
I never received it at bunq, I knew this and I still moved all of my banking to them 2.5 years ago.
Hope it makes a bit sence, be cause it’s a bit hard to explain for me.
