• Folders should be manageable if you have connected accounts

I’m sharing bunq cards with my boyfriend, he is the owner of the premium account and I have a normal account. Our accounts are connected though since I’m not the owner of the premium account I’m *not* allowed to manage our folders (the 25 that are included in the premium package). Since we have connected accounts I think this is a feature that Bunq should offer.


Let me know what you think!

    Hi Gabriela! Thanks for your input :)

    This account you guys share is indeed a Monetary Account (what you make reference as folder), thus it's not for the entire bunq account. I understand you would like to have access to every account another user owns?

      Hi Marc,


      I’m not sure we are talking about the same thing. My boyfriend has a premium account which is connected with mine (I have a normal account). My question is regarding the 25 folders that comes with the premium account. My boyfriend can manage the folders - creating new, deleting etc but I can’t. Since our account is connected, how come I can’t manage the folders we have?

        Hey there,


        The connected bank accounts are still owned by the person that created it, he will be the only one that can delete them.

        If you have a bunq Free account, you will not be able to open extra bank accounts in the app. This is only possible with bunq Premium 👍

          Ok thank you for the information. Unfortunately we don’t feel it’s necessary to have double cards though (two premium accounts), 3 cards is more then enough. The cards are now in my boyfriends name but I will be the one handling Bunq and since I can’t change or work with the folders/ accounts this will be a issue for us.


          Is there any possibilities that we can change his name into my name on the premium account and then also on our cards?


          Many thanks in advance

            Hola Gabriela!

            Currently, it is technically not possible to change the name of the account.

            In this case, we would recommend you to open a Premium membership under your name and let your boyfriend downgrade to a Free membership.

            This way the accounts will be under your name, as well as the bunq cards.

            After doing this you can connect all 25 (or the ones you wish to share with your bf) accounts in your Premium membership so you can share these.

            Keep in mind with our Connect feature you are able to share your monetary account with others, however you are still the sole owner of the account and transactions made.

            If you wish to co-own any of the monetary accounts in the Premium membership, you can also send a Joint Account invitation to your bf. This form of connect allows you to co-own a monetary account, thus you both will be owners and responsible for the transactions made. Keep in mind that as a Free user, your bf will only be able to accept one Joint account invitation. Regarding the Connect feature, he can make different connects to accounts👍

            Hope this is clear if you have any other question, do let us know😁

            Cheers!

              Thanks a lot, this is very clear!


              Have a good day,

              Gabriela

                You are very welcome Gabriela🤠

                Have an awesome day!
