  • Bunq.me not only send also request money

Often no-bunq'ers ask me to pay them back for a drink or what so ever. Wouldn't be great if the bunq.me links not only sends money to the bunq'er, but that people can also request money. After a notification, The bunq'er only has to click accept to verify and send it!

    @Sem-Navy-Penguin#34275 I like the idea! πŸ™Œ

    Although, the other person could of course also create their own bunq.me link. πŸ˜› But I can imagine that it would be nice to have a ABN client being able to initiate a Request that you only need to verify. Be aware that I don't think these can be instant (okay, ABN can), as Requests are instants because of iDeal. However this is an outgoing payment from a bunq perspective in most cases. So that won't work the same way.πŸ€”

      @Sem-Navy-Penguin#34275 You know you can already send money to someone's phone number or e-mail address? Just select pay and then select a contact from your phone book.

        @Petervdv#34312 I think Sem wants to have his permanent bunq.me link (where one can β€ždonateβ€œ you any amount he wants) to support that everyone can also request any amount from you..
        I don’t think this is a smart idea, as this could likely lead to spam.. someone could just bruteforce his way to all possible bunq.me links and request money constantly..

          @Tobi-H#34314 But requesting money.. That's already bunq.me right? Non-bunqers can send him a bunqme or tikkie. If a friend is asking for money and you say "I want you to visit this link and request it" that's not really a faster process πŸ˜›

            Sounds cool, however, why wouldnt those people not simply create their own bunq.me link :)? Also prevents potential spam...

              @Petervdv#34317 I totally agree. I was just trying to explain the wish πŸ™‚

                I think it's a great idea, however, due to the fact that this could lead to spam, it should be implemented in such a way that only 'known' bank accounts (accounts you've sent money to before) can request money.
