  • I just wanted to share how amazing bunq is since it started. I remember the days of the IBANs+Maestro card and it really can't compare to all these features we can have today. I actually can transfer money between my three accounts (Dutch ING, Spanish Caixabank and bunq) instantly thanks to iDEAL and card topup along with instant sepa transfers. This would sound like science fiction coming from those times when an international transfer between these two countries could take 3 business days.

    I mean, thanks to ZeroFX and the integration with Transferwise I can be sure my bank is not ripping me off when paying or sending money to different currencies.

    And the most important thing of all: they don't invest in shit. But then we sometimes have to read bunq is expensive. I find that attitude only shows thats some people don't know the value of some things in life: everything has a cost and I must say this is not high considering what an amazing product/idea bunq is.

    The latest news about a bunqer being attacked in India should only encourage us to keep using and showing (off) our bunq cards all around the world.

    Keep rocking guys 🙌

    • I personally love bunq's latest ads. I think they reflect the disruptive spirit that the company has felt from the beginning when entering a corrupt, old fashioned field like banking. The message behind them is "joining bunq is being a rebel". John's ads are, of course, very descriptive and useful for those who are willing to focus more on the app features, but as you guys would say, dat is andere koek, and might be seen as part of another (maybe future) campaign.

      When I saw the latest ads, I felt proud of being a bunqer. That's the emotional approach that keeps me hooked to it, more than the features themselves.

      • If you're bothered about writing the same question in two languages, why don't you just assume it's an international bank and English will always be understood?

        • My pug has a bad hoof and I doubt he can remember more than two words (he was diagnosed with ADHD) : are you guys thinking of a workaround for the double authentication?
