  • Virtual Maestro Cards

Hey, I would love to see virtual Maestro Cards get introduced!

Currently you can only get a virtual Mastercard, these are good for linking to different sub-accounts, for different types of purchases.
However here in the Netherlands, Maestro is the way to go when purchasing in physical stores and the better hand of online stores. It would be great to have similar functionality with Maestro cards on Google Pay.

    Hello @Aydin-Turquoise-Panda#224177 🌈

    Nice catch! We’re glad to see you’ve shared your suggestion with us. We think that this would be useful in saving time and also very convenient 🌳We’ve shared it with the team in charge and started working on it.

    Your suggestion is valuable to us. Since it will help us improve, so we will notify you soon as we have implemented this.

    Cheers,
    Erika 🎉

      Thats good to hear, if this gets implemented I will probably rejoin the Bunq community🙌🏻

        Great 💡!

          Ive just stumbled across this issue too. Need a maestro victual card for use with a joint account, but don't want a physical card (or want to pay for it).

            Is there an update on this? For me the reason to join bunq was to be able to have different sub accounts for budgetting and having virtual cards for these accounts. Only finding out later that the virtual cards are only available in mastercard which makes it very difficult to actually pay ij stores in the Netherlands while they are often not accepted.

              Nee maestro en Mastercard verdwijnen helemaal en worden vervangen door v pay en visa

                @Dion-jeannot-Pascal-van-Rooij#233062 Don’t think you’re right. As far as I know MasterCard is gonna replace meastro with MasterCard Debit.

                  @Dion-jeannot-Pascal-van-Rooij#233062 Personally I expect Visa to follow suit here and sunset their V PAY product soon. They've already made many such moves to phase it out in countries where it has been popular, so hard to believe they would try to revive it just for The Netherlands.

                    Ik zie het voordeel eerlijk gezegd niet. Waar wegwerp MasterCards je nog in staat stellen toekomstige afschrijvingen te blokkeren, is dit bij Maestro helemaal niet van toepassing. De manier van betalen is daarbij namelijk anders.

                      @isaak#235014 I definitely would love to see the option for virtual meastro cards as well. That way it’s easier to make card payments from different sub accounts without changing my card linked to a different account.

                        Really annoying bunq does offer virtual MasterCard cards but not maestro cards.
                        I don’t mind paying 10e for an extra card, but monthly fee is not far in my opinion.

                          @Aydin-Turquoise-Panda#224177 Dat was zo toen ik overstapte naar bunq en wat later werden die ineens omgezet naar MasterCard. Ik geloof nooit dat ze die terug invoeren.

                            There is still no option for a virtual debit card, only a virtual credit card. At least in my automated options... I don't want a physical card for every sub account but need a debit card to pay in many Dutch stores. Any help here?

                              Ik ziet met hetzelfde probleem. Voor een aantal rekeningen hoef ik geen fysieke pas en de 10 euro daarvoor kan ik dus in mijn zak houden. Wel wil ik met Apple Pay kunnen betalen.
                              Het probleem is nu dat een virtuele kaart altijd een credit card is en dat sommige pinautomaten geen creditcard accepteren.

                              Het zou dus fijn zijn als bunq ook een virtuele (Mastercard) DEBIT kaart introduceert, een betaalpas dus.

                              Leze jullie mee, @bunq?

                                I've also noticed this issue. MasterCard Debit is now accepted in most stores, which is evident as both my virtual and physical debit cards work almost everywhere. Virtual MasterCard Credit though doesn't seem to be accepted anywhere.

                                My partner and I want do all of our banking on a single platform rather than splitting our accounts across multiple banks. Bunq seemed like a great solution for this, but not being able to create virtual debit cards is a bit of a deal breaker for us.

                                  Ik zie dat je bij Knab in totaal 5 rekeningen kan aanmaken met een pas en dat zonder extra kosten. Deze functie zie ik ook graag bij Bunq. Het liefste zie ik echter virtuele debit kaarten die ik aan kan maken. Gezien de oudheid van de berichten hier en het feit dat ik nog steeds alleen maar virtuele creditkaarten kan aanmaken vraag ik mij af of @bunq hier nog iets mee gaat doen?
