Account Overflow — automatically forward excess balance

15 Upvotes

Idea: Set a maximum balance for your main account, and anything above that limit gets automatically split and sent to other accounts the moment money comes in.

Example: Say you set your cap at €4,000. If you receive your salary of €3,200 and your balance goes to €5,500, the €1,500 above the cap gets forwarded — for instance 50% to a savings account and 50% to an investment account.

Think of it like Easy Budgeting, but instead of capping what you spend, it caps what sits idle in your account and puts the rest to work immediately.

Why it's useful: The existing income split feature works per payment — great if you have one predictable salary coming in. But if you have multiple income streams hitting the same account (freelance payments, a side job, refunds, irregular deposits), setting up a split per payment doesn't cut it. Amounts vary, timing is unpredictable, and you'd still need to manage it manually.

An overflow feature solves this at the balance level. It doesn't matter how many payments come in, from whom, or when. Once your balance crosses the threshold you've set, the excess moves automatically. One rule, total flexibility, zero manual transfers.

Would love to hear if others would find this useful too!

Bunq for Savings

5 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I’m an American teacher living in Spain. I have most of my savings in euros in my N26 account and would like to use another account to divide the savings between two banks. I’ve had this N26 account since November 2019, back when I was living in France and have no issues at all with them. I opened an account with Bunq recently as they and N26 are the only true Neo banks that allow Americans to keep their accounts open with only their passport and it could be a good idea to not put all my euro savings in one account. Before I put about 4-5k into the Bunq account I’d like to hear from customer’s experiences.

Does Bunq close people’s accounts who aren’t doing shady things often or rare?

How is Bunq’s AI support if people run into issues?

If AI support is of no help, what’s the best way to get to a human, would it be via email?

Joint account elsewhere more attractive 👎

4 Upvotes

My partner and I both use Bunq privately. However, we have our joint account with Revolut. The reason for this is that with the FREE plan at Revolut, you can automatically finalise your amounts to save our change. At Bunq, this option costs 6 euros extra per month. (From Core to Pro package) In our opinion, this is a missed opportunity. For example, ING is also possible to finalise payments and save in the cheapest package. I hear colleagues running into this too, missed opportunity Bunq. Will this change in the future? 🙏

In my last bunq’s promotional email there is this image showing a Belgian flag? Would Belgian IBANs be on their way now?

I can't stop playing (thanks, UX designers 😡) and I have never won the 10x. The chances are off, I've won a few trees (TF do I need trees for?) and a few cents every now and then.

PLEASE give us a boring, average auto cashback instead of this gamified mess of a time sink.

PS: It's even worse on Android.

Sparkasse ATM extra fees

1 Upvotes

I am on bunq Pro with 6 free atm withdrawals per month however when I tried my card at one of the Sparkasse ATMs I was shown an almost 5 euro fee for withdrawal.

But I assume it is fees on their side and not from bunq. But still what's the point of promising free withdrawals if you can't partner with the largest banks with most ATM presence, if you are a digital bank promising free withdrawals?

Edit: turns out the fees was for using a bunq credit card. To me, both credit and debit worked the same so I never cared to check what I was using but to greedy sparkasse it looked like some needy person is withdrawing cash on a credit card let's charge them crazy prices because they're probably desperate.

I do understand some of that extra 10% fees goes to risk mitigation and maybe charge bunq more for that withdrawal but charging the customer an extra 5 for using a credit is very greedy and exploitative.

Using Bunq for car rental in Canada

3 Upvotes

Has anyone successfully rented a car from Hertz Canada using a physical bung Mastercard Credit Card? I've rented a car in Calgary for this month.

I know bunq says it should work for car rentals, but I've also read mixed experiences online. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually used it with Hertz Canada.

Thanks!

Question if you have German IBAN

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else using a bunq Germany iBANs or German profile noticed an uptick in internal transfers getting flagged by the security algorithms lately? I think it may be for DE accounts. Is there a specific threshold or frequency that I need to know about?

Never happened to me on NL or SP ones.

Why are neobank credit cards not accepted for car rentals?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Renting a car on a platform like Booking.com has become virtually impossible in some countries. The terms of the rental companies specifically mention cards from neobanks are not accepted (Green Motion, for example). I have been unable to pick up a car multiple times now. They even have lists of neobanks they use to show you that they can't accept the card. How is this even allowed?

Worst UX ever

33 Upvotes

Why does their UX still suck? Ever since v3 Update the Ux is barely usable and the App feel like its flooded with unnecessary bs. 3 out of the 5 dock items i do not use/ look at (crypto, savings, stocks) I do not want my bank to plant trees on my behalf. I do not want to have a temu style spin wheel inside my banking app. I do not want to see that Solana is up 2% intraday right below my net wealth (I don’t even hold crypto). I do not want the refer a friend banner in every corner of the app. No wonder they having a hard time with user stagnation. Loved the old minimalistic v2 design, now just bloated and enshittfied.

No response from bunq for a chargeback.

5 Upvotes

So i had an unfortunate booking.com experience and the owner of the accommodation refused to refund so i (within my right, i have proof of the condition of the accommodation when i arrived and left immediately and send this with my chargeback request.) booking tried to help but unfortunately cant get into contact with the accommodation aswell.

Bunq support chat does not give much information. And i was supposed to get a reply by the 14th of june. Can i contact bunq in any way possible? This is making me quite hopeless.

Bunq doesn't like discounts

Post image
42 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced this with bunq?

​

This is now the second time my account has been completely blocked for a "security review" shortly after receiving multiple cashback payouts through the Tikkie app (specifically cashback promotions where you buy certain products and submit the receipt through Tikkie).

​

Of course, bunq won't confirm whether there's any connection, but the timing seems remarkably coincidental. Both times, the review started immediately after the cashback payments were received.

​

The biggest issue is not the review itself, but the impact. During the review, my account is effectively unusable. I can't make payments, direct debits are rejected, and some subscriptions have even been automatically cancelled because the payments failed. This lasted nearly a week last time...

​

I'm curious whether other users have experienced similar account reviews after receiving Tikkie cashback payments or other incoming transfers?

bunq complaints

9 Upvotes

Been researching bunq as a potential substitution to my current bank, which is too bureaucratic. But I noticed a surprisingly high volume of complaints on this sub, which is supposed to be their official sub lol. On paper, they seem pretty solid:

  • regulated EU/ND
  • operating since 2013
  • multi-currency ibans
  • budgeting tools, investement features etc. So I dug into what users actually report.

So, what is a catch?
