How do I enable AutoSave for my Savings Account?

Elise

Hey bunqers 🌈

The AutoSave feature is available for bunq Pro and bunq Elite users. When enabled, all outgoing payments made with bunq, including those from Joint and Connected accounts, are rounded up to the nearest €1, $1, or £1 - or optionally to €2, $2, £2, or €5, $5, £5. The difference is then automatically transferred to your Savings Account or invested in a stock or ETF of your choice💰

For example, if you make a payment at Albert Heijn for €19.48, the remaining €0.52 will be transferred to your Savings Account or invested in the stock or ETF you’ve selected.

How can I set up AutoSave?

Check out the steps below to see how:

Go to the Budgeting tab

Note: You can enable AutoSave for only 1 Savings Account and 1 stock or ETF at a time. It can also be enabled for Joint Bank Accounts, including Multi-Currency Savings Accounts.
