  • Weekly I have payments made by my spouse or myself that are made from our shared accounts or ones that I purely own. Every time I do a transaction at the store from the wrong account I need to request or split it and then accept it.

    Only my spouse can state auto accept requests. I would love it if I can do this myself so when cleaning up my finances I don't have to create and then accept.

    Another case is that for the split feature I want to add something to my groceries which needs to be split my kids account. Those splits are great, but having to accept it is getting annoying.

    Hope there are others that have the same issue as I do.

    • Hi Eric,

      I am one of those beta testers as well and fully agree. Bunq has lost credit with me but they can regain it back. I am negative in the sense that the rollout of this is horrible. We needed more time to test the abilities and maybe move some features around. The amount of bugs was to huge, when people don’t see their own money they will scream murder.

      Still bunq is the only bank I’ll go for, might make me grumpy at times though ;) Compared to the old skoop banks fully focused on profits I’d rather stay here. My old features are mostly there, some are just hidden very well. Bunq tried to play hide and seek with this roll out....

      The crowd control was horrible, felt like we had watercannons versus the people voicing their opinions. Must admit, some were very vocal and plainly rude. On the other hand my wife asked me how she could switch back as well. That just indicates this is a poor roll out. The change way to big and to sudden. We didn’t all watch the livestream...

      I sincerely hope people stick around and give bunq the benefit of the doubt. It’s still a great app with strong features and a bank like no other. How long that last one stays is to be revealed in the future.

      • How can i keep the separated views on payments via the profile? Rather not have business and personal expenses showing combined.

        • Guess the option is gone. With the combined personal and business I would love to be able to filter it.

          • Ah you are right, during beta I could hide it.

            • Home screen top right, press hide balance

              • Cannot see my connection to Jortt anymore. Using the personal account merged with the business account. On addons it shows 0. Jortt is reading all my business transactions though.

                • @Replic21#174114 Beat me to it :)

                  • A bit hidden... go to the account the transfer is on. Top right press the menu (three dots), scroll down and see scheduled payments

                    • After testing it for some it’s actually pretty neat. Very different interface and some things still need work but the improvements made it better quickly.

                      • Hi Taco,

                        Have the same setup minus one kid. Since my kids are very young (0 and 2), I do not have an account for them yet.

                        I do believe depending on their needs 1 bunq pack is enough. If your willing to give them a free account and share one card from yourself. Do a connect from your account.

                        My goal is that when my kids grow older they gain more access and via the bunq pack they can grow into it from free to paid. I have separate savings accounts for them and plan on having separate running accounts. Since they are not 18 they do not need full permissions or ownership of the money yet. I believe we can manage this later and control the saving and spending accounts in a way where we as parents discuss the setup when they are old enough. Goal is for them to have an understanding of money. By saving, working and spending with limits. As well as using several small accounts to manage it.

                        Hope this helps, my business account pays the bunq pack. With my wife I have shared accounts. We moved all sepa direct debits rather quickly and only have an old ING account due to history :) Everything we do is via bunq, planning trips is a new account. If with friends we share it to their free account.

                        • Same here, we share almost all IBANs. What I'd like is:


                          And/Or accounts, sometimes required for wages and other purposes as well when an account needs to be in your or multiple names.


                          Pricing model bit more in line. Don't like paying for my kids in the future at the same cost as a household usage. We have two premiums at the moment.


                          See the account Icons more clearly, my wife stated it is sometimes confusing due to the fact iam sharing my accounts with her.


                          Overall it is working so far, it just feels weird having two premiums for such a solution. Don't get me wrong though, we are very happy with the features offered. It helps us changing how we deal with our finances in a very positive way.


                          Maybe a big family account with multiple names attached to IBANs? So I can chose as main prent which IBAN is available to which person in the household. But can see where there card is connected to. Basically the current setup just adding more legal people under 1 account, each had its own login

                          • To bad, would like to do an automatic swap between IBAN accounts attached to my user. Notification will do for now I recon!

                            Just to be 100% clear, it is not from another Bank, it is from a bunq to another bunq both owned by me.

                            • Hi all,


                              Is it possible to set up automatic refills from a bunq account instead of ideal or sofort?


                              I like to be able to refill my periodic set payments on an account if it falls under a certain threshold. That way I do not have to keep track of when certain payments need to be made.
